Subsidization of Tuition Costs in Ivy League Schools

Many Ivy League colleges, like Harvard, have enough funds to offer free education for the next 50 years, yet charge high tuitions. The high tuition fees are not paid by most students as they are often subsidized by those who can afford to pay more. This practice raises questions about fairness in a meritocratic system and whether it is morally acceptable to let some students pay extra to support others. Additionally, there is a distinction between students who perform poorly on tests and those who are unable to handle the academic workload.
