"Additional Scholarship Funds"
From an email from the Office of Financial Aid:
As for anyone who bothers to apply for this 'assistance,' I predict the most common hardship will be, "the President of my school has turned disregard for student welfare into an artform and raised tuition more than she had to."
FYI, from now on, anyone can comment - an account is not required.
We would also like to follow-up on Dr. Jackson's announcement last month regarding the additional scholarship funds for upperclass students. Since this particular pool of funds is limited, it will be reserved for students who have experienced a significant change in their financial circumstances that constitutes an extreme financial hardship. If you believe that your family's financial situation has endured extreme financial hardship within the last year, you may submit your appeal in writing directly to the financial aid office.For those of you just joining this tragedy, this statement comes after Dr. Jackson appeased the students who were outraged over the tuition hike with the promise of "additional scholarship funds" to offset the increase. Once again, Dr. Jackson has used the students' apathy against him. Emails like this shouldn't angry blog entries; they should spark angry mobs outside the Troy Building.

It's not like RPI already has much higher tuition than similar schools that are much more prestigious. Oh wait, it does.
RPI is a corporation, it may be a non-profit one, but it is out for its own survival and prestige, it is not here (in its current incarnation) to educate students. Where RPI lost track of this I am unsure, but if RPI had not looked at itself and decided to change, the school would no longer exist as its education recently has been well just bad.
