"Rich Colleges Receiving Richest Share of U.S. Aid"

Check out this article from NYT showing that Stanford students receive 7x the federal funds that CSU-Fresno students do.

• Stanford undergrad+grad students: 18,591
• Stanford tuition instate: $27,204
• Stanford tuition out-of-state: $27,204
• CSU-Fresno undergrad+grad students: 20007
• CSU-Fresno tuition instate: $1,796
• CSU-Fresno tuition out-of-state: $10,256

( stats from Students Review )

It may be grousing and throwing around numbers that mean very little, but it’s worth ruminating about. Stanford has higher base costs and a higher grad school mix, but shouldn’t “State” colleges get more funding? (Stanford’s not a traditional “Land Grant” institution, are they?)
