They do, technically. The admissions process is need-blind, meaning they decide whether to accept a student before looking at any financials, then provide enough financial aid for them to attend. Something like a quarter of the students don't pay anything.
So they're falling behind the rest of the Western world for 75% of their student body
Yeah, 25% is what the website says, but that sounds like it includes scholarships. So pretty much every athlete and other scholarships.
They have an estimate tool too

75k parental income and 10k in assets was enough for it to be 15k/year.
That's a lot of money to a family of four with 1 kid in college.
And Harvard doesn't need a penny of it.
