Hacker News用户正在讨论哈佛大学新的免费学费政策,该政策面向家庭年收入20万美元或以下的家庭。一些用户强调了潜在的不公平之处,指出20万美元的收入在不同地区和生活成本不同的情况下,代表着截然不同的生活水平,而且可能无法顾及多子女家庭。另一些人则持怀疑态度,认为实际上只有少数来自这些收入阶层的学生会被录取,或许会偏向那些有运动才能的学生。一些人质疑“免费”的定义,指出哈佛大学的教职员工仍在领取薪水。其他用户澄清说,哈佛大学高达532亿美元的捐赠基金足以支付这些费用。还有人认为,补贴学费往往是一项投资,从长远来看可以带来更多税收。

Harvard says tuition will be free for families making $200K or less (go.com)

It's a good move but blanket 200k may mean that a kid from a well-off family in Iowa with a 150k income is able to get free tution while a kid with not so well off family in California with a 210k income is unable to get free tution.

Income as a number doesn't have much meaning until Cost of living is taken into account.



That would be great, though shouldn't this be adjusted for the number of kids?


... then proceeds to admit only 5 people making lt 200k


Who coincidentally happen to be amazing at some sport or another.


Free? The professors for those students will be working for free? The administrators? Don't think so.

If you're not paying for the product...



Harvard has a $53.2 billion endowment. That's where the money comes from.


Tuition is often subsidized with the expectation that graduates will get a better salary than otherwise, generating more tax income in the long run than the subsidy. Free or heavily subsidized tuition can actually be a great investment for the government.

And yes, from that point of view, the students are the product.
