Levin insisted the issues have been under serious revi e w for about a year in response to concerns raised by students and the Administration. He acknowledged, however, that the financial aid overhaul unveiled at Princeton two weeks ago prompted Yale officials to move up their schedule to this week. Under the revised policies, family assets up to $150,000 will not be included in the calculation of parental contributions. Upperclassmen will be able to petition for a waiver of the summer work requirement so they can pursue low-paying public service int ernships, Yale-sponsored summer travel fellowships, or formal study abroad programs. The budget for international financial aid will increase by 50 percent, and monies from recently approved federal education incentives will remain in parents' pockets ra ther than being transferred directly to the University. Levin also announced that next year's term bill will increase by only 2.9 percent, marking the sixth consecutive year in which its rate of growth has declined, and the first time since the mid-1960s that it has increased by less than three percent...
