the board of trustees should look into whether or not they want vassar to be truly inclusive or only on the surface.

As a Vassar grad, I totally agree. But, lets remember that Vassar grants 60% of its students substantial fin aid (50k+ is the average). It’s elitist like every other top college, but it definitely goes above and beyond the rest in terms of trying to make college affordable. There are limits to which it can shell out money for fin aid, but I know that unlike other schools, it reevaluates fin aid every year in case your parents had a significant change in income and can no longer pay the amount you could earlier. Of course, it needs to do better, but still, credit where credit is due.
