Harvard Makes Tuition Free To More Students

Harvard University will make tuition free for more students.

The school announced that it is eliminating tuition for students from families earning up to 200-thousand dollars annually.

That's a big push up from the previous 85-thousand-dollar income threshold.

This, as elite universities look for ways to maintain campus diversity now that the Supreme Court has banned race-based admissions practices.

Harvard joins schools including MIT, the University of Pennsylvania and Caltech with similar thresholds for free tuition.
