<p>"Students at the University of the District of Columbia were furious about the current proposal to increase tuition… if you’re going to double increase in tuition, why not double services?.. At the meeting Sessoms said “an increase in tuition is normal for every university.” Johnson argued, “while an increase in tuition may be normal everywhere, a double increase is not normal.”</p>

<p>That is just wrong. Financial considerations are very important to many/most students in choosing a college. If a school wants to double tuition for new students, that’s one thing, but to double the cost for existing students is simply not fair. I understand the need for tuition increases (many schools have them every year), but a near 100% increase? Waaay too much.</p>

<p>Anyone remember the end of the ‘no tuition’ policy at the City University of New York in the 1970s?</p>
