I just want to say, PR move or not, I’ll be happy if the tuition freeze comes to fruition.
As for the comment about “come up with more merit $”, that is much easier said than done. Lowering tuition could be disastrous when considering the state (Rauner) wants to cut funding.
Students will have to see how the university works through the fiscal challenges. Prospective students will need to factor in personal financial concerns and ROI when making their college decisions.
