Comment on $1B gift to make Johns Hopkins medical school free for most

Comments

These kinds of income limits are not great. So a family that earns $300,001 has to pay full tuition and one with $299,999 get it free. There is no reason not to use a sliding scale. Not just for this but for a whole range of other "cut-off" limits for income assistance.

I'd agree if this were a much lower threshold, but 300 grand is a high amount. Most people won't hit it
