The war is in the form of the elimination of a program known as Bundy Aid. Last year, the state’s 131 private colleges were given $35.13 million in aid.

A college doesn’t get any funds unless the students graduate so it is an incentive to colleges to work hard to keep students in college and earning a degree.
