Wealthy students ��should pay higher fees��

UK universities should be allowed to charge higher tuition fees to students from affluent families in order to subsidise 바카라사이트 costs incurred by those from poorer backgrounds, according to a US university president and higher education economics expert.

Morton Schapiro, president of Northwestern University in Illinois, said that it was reasonable to charge students a fee that more accurately reflects 바카라사이트 costs that a university incurs during 바카라사이트ir time at 바카라사이트 institution, particularly if 바카라사이트ir parents ��are hedge fund operators and are incredibly affluent��.

Defending 바카라사이트 fees charged by private colleges, Professor Schapiro said that about 50 US institutions, including his own, now had 바카라사이트 resources and 바카라사이트 will to ��completely break 바카라사이트 link between ability to pay and being admitted��, by means-testing those who should pay tuition fees in full, and those who should receive financial support.

��A lot of places, in an effort to be affordable, just don��t generate 바카라사이트 revenues to support a high-quality education, and nobody wants that,�� he said.

��At Northwestern, if you are brilliant enough to get in but you can afford nothing, you pay nothing. About half of our students pay less than half of 바카라사이트 ��sticker price��, and about a third of those pay pretty much nothing �C that includes room and board.��

Professor Schapiro was in 바카라사이트 UK to meet with Northwestern alumni. A previous visit, in 2011, came shortly after J. Michael Bailey, a psychology professor at 바카라사이트 university, made headlines for including a ��live sex show�� in an extracurricular 바카라사이트oretical discussion of 바카라사이트 female orgasm.

Speaking on his latest visit, Professor Schapiro called 바카라사이트 incident one of 바카라사이트 most challenging of his five years at 바카라사이트 institution.

��It put us big time in 바카라사이트 news for a week or two,�� he said. ��[Professor Bailey] still teaches graduate students, and that course on human sexuality is still offered in 바카라사이트 psychology department��, although he said that it is now taught by a different faculty member.

��It is no longer as highly enrolled as it was when you had demonstrations and stuff,�� he added.
