   Harvard is joining other elite institutions (MIT, Pennsylvania and Caltech) who are responding to SCOTUS's ban on affirmative action by making tuition free for low-income students.

   Harvard is providing free tuition to students whose family income is less than $200,000 per year, and are providing additional services (food, housing, etc.) for families making less than $100,000.

   These do not directly target diversity, but help ensure equity.

     @FantasticalEconomics @academicchatter I'm fine with Harvard doing this, but not Yale Law, because it might help more Appalachians attend and then write books that get turned into movies that let them get hired as Thiel acolytes and then become evil vice presidents.
