In practical terms, all colleges do this kind of subsidizing but the degree does vary.
Traditionally, this happens directly at private schools as all of us who attended Stanford presumably know.
At public university the subsidizing was traditionally done via tax dollars which were coupled to low set tuition and very little financial aid. As states pull back from funding universities they have begun to move in the direction of private schools: higher nominal tuition and more financial aid to poorer students.

and many public law and business schools seem to have moved to the high list/high discount model as well.

I went to UCLA's business school in 1985-87, cost then was I about $1,500/quarter (inflation adjusted to about $3,350 today), last I looked the cost had increased to over $15,000/quarter
