Yes, but they don't give their money to the Institute on the
scale that students do.

Very true.  But what it does mean is that the school has the
right to exclude them if it wants to.  It's a shame and all that
they can't pay to be here, but that doesn't change the fact that
those of us who can and do deserve first crack at the tickets.
