According to this article the gap in college has become larger as of late because of students financial situations. Public universities cost on average one forth of private universities. The wealthier students benefit from this because of the way financial aid operates. When the tuition cost are raised it benefits the poorer students because financial aid will pick up the difference having almost no difference in what they are paying without aid. This intern makes up for the wealthy students who will most likely not be compensated by the change in tuition prices. The problem will not be solved by lowering tuition but by increasing financial aid. The only way for an increase in financial aid is to raise tuition costs. Students pay different prices for financial aid depending on what their parent’s income is. The goal is to enhance quality not maximizing firm revenue. By increasing the effective tuition for some of our wealthier students, we might be able to reduce the price for some of the less wealthy.
I found this article to be very relevant to my research paper. By understanding the opposing view it has helped me shape my views a little bit. It also helps to know what kind of thought process they go through to understand how this will help the college tuition system. Still firmly believing that this is not the way to help tuition prices but the exact opposites. While this process of increasing tuition to help the wage gap, making the less wealthy students pays less in student loans. Only helps for a short time. Until tuition prices rise so much, that even that middle class students cannot afford it because the student loans will not cover it. Dynarski, Susan. "Remember the Problems With Mortgage Defaults?
