A staff editorial from Loyola's student paper:

The Yale protestors have a great idea. If a student gains admission into an institution, that institution should do everything it can to guarantee that students can attend. College is an opportunity that can help a person achieve his or her goals. A higher education should be based on a student's academic merit, not his or her family's income. Here at Loyola, students needed to complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid by March 1. FAFSA takes into consideration the student's family income, other siblings and various other costs. However, creators of FAFSA had tunnel vision and failed to address special financial circumstances...Merit should be the key to academic success, not money.
