Abstract
This article presents five case studies of proposals to change state tuition and aid policies. Findings suggest that tuition and aid must be explicitly linked for efficient and equitable results. Yet it is extremely difficult to adopt explicitly linked policies. Such findings support critics who warn that attempts to adopt high-tuition/high-aid policies will merely legitimize tuition increases, without leading to increased aid.Keywords
