â??From each according to ability, to each according to needâ? was Karl Marxâ??s maxim and socialismâ??s guiding principle. UW-Madisonâ??s â??Madison Initiative for Undergraduatesâ? describes the same principle like this:
â??This Madison Initiative for undergraduates will increase tuitionâ?¦ in order to help provide a significant fund for need-based financial aidâ?¦ Students with demonstrated need from families earning $80,000 or less will be held harmless from this Madison-specific increaseâ?¦â? In other words, tuition should flow from each student according to ability to each student according to need.
