Tuition up 27%
No, you didn't read the headline wrong. The University of Richmond is raising tuition by 27% for future students (current students will only go up 5%, which is high enough in a single year to provoke howls, but compared to 27% who'll complain? Just think of the money they're saving!). Inside higher Ed has the story. The most beautiful thing is the president of the U of Richmond comparing college education to a cappuccino machine. Really. It makes me happy to be involved in the education industry, it does. I'm sure his faculty love and respect him, too. Here's his about page. It doesn't make him look like the director of marketing for Crate & Barrel.
