USC offered a prevarication. They raised tuition for many more than 3.5%

I do agree though that USC likely missed the boat on the issue of tuition for 2020-21. They should have frozen the tuition level in place using the 2019-20 # or even adjusted it downward by 2-3%. They would have benefited from the resulting goodwill and even good press on the topic. USC could have been a trendsetter versus just following the lead of the herd. But, as I understand it, their upward tuition cost trend matches most of the nation’s elite colleges and universities, who also increased tuition slightly. Oh well… we simply have to deal with it. At least with 2020-21, my family will have concluded the college process and its skyrocteting expenses. We, like many, are awating a final FA decision. Good luck to all those similarly waiting…
