My OP is an editorial I wrote for Syracuse, NY Post-Standard newspaper. I sent copies of it to the President’s of both schools, as well as other personnel there.

School #1’s Dean replied that the $200 ‘new fee’ issue will be brought to the ‘President’s Council’ for review, whatever that means. School #1 is Union College, Schnectady, NY. They ought to be ashamed. Their poor Student Accounts person continues to defend the back-dating of a fee.

The President of School #2 emailed me back and was not real pleased. My piece was “innaccurate and misleading.” When I re-asserted it’s accuracy, he changed to just “misleading.” The piece, 100% accurate, speaks for itself.

I have still not heard - as promised - why the tuition increase was not announced to parents until June 2 via one line item in the FA statement. And since son #2 has 2 more years and really likes school #2…it remain “confidential”…as in “College Confidential” :)
