Chairman Jack Maguire and Senior Consultant Larry Butler Weigh in on the Merit Aid Debate
Concord, MA - January 18, 2008 - In their featured Commentary article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, "Have-Not Colleges Need New Ways to Compete with Rich Ones," Jack Maguire and Larry Butler make the case that "merit" aid, despite its detractors, is not the problem in higher education. Instead, they point to the unfair competitive advantage elite institutions with huge endowments have over less well-endowed colleges and the effect that those endowments have on financial aid practices.
