Batten Grad School tuition to increase 40%

The plan that was presented anticipates the rise in prestige with a “high tuition, high financial aid” model that they believe will shift to less aid over time.

My main issue is that they announced this “tuition reset” a couple of weeks after accepting the accelerated students. The regular MPP students have been accepted for slightly longer, but none would have anticipated a 40% leap in tuition. Phasing it in would at least put applicants on notice, rather than what feels a bit like bait and switch.

At least some opportunity for TA stipend exists – may mitigate my bitterness if that materializes.
