Daughter has committed to Tulane for class of 2019. Now that I’ll be Tulane parent, I just want feel that the school is headed in the right direction financially. With the problems that I see higher education facing in the coming years, mainly deriving from reduced state funding, tuition increases that vastly outpace inflation, and an overall decline in the number of incoming freshmen, no school is immune to the problems and has to stay on top of the balance sheet. Having a new leader can be a catalyst for the type of analysis that leads to balancing the books, hopefully Fitts is going to do what is necessary to get things balanced.
