Hi David,
You raise good points. Duke does *not* think it is good to create
a privileged student class. As a policy, on-campus residence is
guaranteed to all full-time students. In addition, Duke maintains
need-blind admissions and an undergraduate financial aid policy which
addresses 100% of demonstrated need. (The student budget includes
housing cost assumptions at the on-campus rate.)

This is a good idea for distributing access and applications to the
public schools. I hope we will be able to do it!
