Is that a criticism of the new policy?

No. Assuming they actually have the endowment to keep it up, the policy is a great thing. NYU has acknowledged how insane things have become.

I was criticizing the American university system in general as well people's attitudes toward it. I could type up a really long rant, but I'm not up to it right now.

IIRC, they have raised more than 3/4 of the endowment needed to make it self-replenishing.
