Financial Aid goes up 12%!

The Tufts Daily reports,

Despite cutting back on virtually all other expenses, the university has decided to increase the financial aid budget by 12 percent for next year.

This is of course fantastic news to those of us who are concerned about working class students having to drop out of Tufts for financial reasons. Danika recently wrote about what gets us progressives interested in donating to Tufts (through the Social Justice Fund, guys), which produced a Letter to the Editor from the Assistant Director to the Tufts Fund and productive email exchanges with others involved with the Tufts endowment! Eva and I recently wrote about the importance of supporting financial aid and the goal of need blind admissions.

This is a great semester for TPAN! Shoot Larry Bacow an email thanking him for such a noble policy stance in the face of tough budget decisions.
