The "Charitable" Impulse

Tufts Daily reports: Tufts accepts 26 percent of pool, suspends need-blind admissions.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions reported a 4 percent drop in applications this year but accepted 26 percent of applicants to the Class of 2013 -- down less than 1 percent from last year, the Daily learned yesterday, the date by which all applicants were notified of a decision.

The admissions office also stopped practicing a need-blind admissions policy toward the tail end of the process, a decision that affected five percent of applicants, Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Lee Coffin said.

So now that you can no longer pretend not to be a business, you aren't?

You need cash, you are selling a service, and you need to survive? SHOCKER!!!
