近日，媒体上都是斯坦福大学免学费的报道，如：
Stanford just made tuition free for these students
Stanford University announced last week that tuition will be free for students whose families earn less than $125,000 a year. The standard had been $100,000. Students whose families' annual incomes are lower than $65,000 will also be exempt from paying room and board, up from the current $60,000 cutoff.实际上，”The standard had been $100,000“，不是什么新的消息，也不是唯一的。你要是交了多年学费，只能怪自己有钱了。
