'Need-Blind' Policies

MIDDLETON. Conn.--Wesleyan University, which in a widely publicized decision last spring abandoned its "need blind" admission policy, did not actually deny admission to any qualified applicant for financial reasons, according to Director of Financial And P Become Cunningham.

But Cunningham emphasized that the central Connecticut university was able denying admission to some and seeking students only because of temporary grant of $750,000 from its Board of Trustee.

Dartmouth which also abandoned its need blind policy last spring, was forced to deny full financial and to 20 applications, said Director of Financial Aid Martland W. Horsington Jr.
