<p>Last year Chicago raised tuition, room and board by 5.4%, somewhat higher than what the Ivies were doing. However, at least in the Ivies, the party has ended and most have raised their fees less than 4% for next year (Penn, however, I think is 4.5%). So I would expect Chicago to scale back its increases, but having raised fees 5.4% last year, I would be surprised if they went lower than 4.9% or so. Given that their endowment is larger than Brown’s and Dartmouth’s (combined in fact) I don’t understand why they are so aggressive with raising fees.</p>
