I'm not sure how that's news. It's been going on for ages. Poorer kids get Federal grants and loans, while wealthier kids do not. So, in order to make college affordable for them, too, they get "grants" from the colleges. Otherwise, middle-class kids are the ones who get the shaft because they can't afford college on their own, but they don't qualify for much financial aid because they make too much money.

My wife's parents live on the income of a poor person, yet are joint owners of the farm he works which owns millions of dollars worth of property and assets. Also debts about as big. She could get no aid.

Public University Presidents Prosper

"Four public university presidents had compensation over $1 million, according to an annual pay report, the highest paid $2.9 million.
...
The biggest growth last year was in the $600,000 to $700,000 range, a category that included 28 chief executives, up from only 13 the previous year.

The median total compensation for the presidents of public research universities was $441,392, up 4.7 percent from the previous year’s $421,395."
