<p>For anyone who does not want to follow the link, here are some of the most important parts of the letter from Pres. Schapiro:</p>

This remains well below the College’s expenditures per student and falls in the lower half of fees at the nation’s most highly selective private colleges and universities.</p>

Williams is committed to meeting the full demonstrated need of all new and returning students, including those whose family circumstances may have changed in the past year or who may qualify for the first time because of the fee increase.
