<h2>FTH, re the newspaper interview you mention above: Are you referring to the New York Times article dated 12/29/2007? If so, I did not read his comment the way you did. Here’s an excerpt of the story, which discussed Harvard’s reducing its tuition and how other “colleges without enormous endowments” will respond, including President Strassburger’s only quote:</h2>
<p>But administrators at colleges without enormous endowments to help them cut student costs say they fear that Harvard may have created a wave of haggling by families and made college pricing and student aid packages seem even more opaque.</p>
<h2>“It will educate those parents into thinking, ‘Eighteen thousand dollars a year is what we ought to be paying; why should we have to pay more than that?’ ” said John Strassburger, president of Ursinus College, where full costs are currently $43,160.</h2>
