<p>Husband has an Ivy league master’s degree. His brother and sister went to public schools. They both make more money.</p>
<p>Here’s an analogy to Wake’s tuition philosophy:</p>
<p>Five friends decide to meet at a bar after work for a beer. Two are poor, two are middle income and one is rich. When the $20 bill comes, they each contribute $4. They enjoy this so much they decide to do this every Tuesday. After a few months, they’re sitting at the bar when the check arrives. The two poor ones announce that they don’t think they should have to contribute anything to the tab because they have such low income. The two middle income ones state that times are touch on them as well so they feel they should only have to pay $2 each for their beer, leaving the rich friend to pay $16 for his beer. The following Tuesday, the rich friend doesn’t show up at the bar, leaving the other four to wonder who’s going to pay for their beer.</p>
<p>Now I certainly don’t mind giving a break to those who make less than me, but I can’t see paying $16 for a beer.</p>
