Fascinating. Yet they still require their students to pay tens of thousand of dollars each year in tuition. They should do what Stanford did and make education free for students whose families earn less than $125k.
"Yale does not require students to take out loans for their education. Instead, Yale meets 100% of demonstrated need for all admitted students with a financial aid package consisting of need-based scholarships, term-time employment, and a student income contribution."

So...Yale does what Stanford does already...

Families don't have to pay if they make less than 65k.
Stanford's program is similar. Their 125k threshold is for not paying tuition, but a family making 125k is expected to pay for room and board.
