I'm glad to see this article. Even though it does not change my mind about reducing the cost of a public university education I do think we need to look at schools like Trinity do. When I visited Trinity a few years ago I was impressed at the spirit on campus and it was by far the most racially/ethnically diverse campus I've ever visited. I worry that public institutions will not fill that gap even with free/reduced costs. It's impressive that a college that educated many successful and powerful women (Rep. Pelosi and Sec. Sebelius) would refocus their mission to primarily serve women of color.
