Although Many Colleges Do Openly Discriminate on Price, that Doesn't Make Them Robin Hoods.

Winston, Gordon C.

Chronicle of Higher Education, v34 n28 pB1,3 Mar 23 1988

Price discrimination, charging two different customers two different prices for exactly the same item only because the people differ in ability to pay, is discussed. (MLW)
