Syracuse University, a private institution in New York, is raising student tuition nearly 5 percent as it kicks off a new diversity and inclusion plan estimated to cost more than $50 million.
The university will raise its full-time undergraduate tuition 4.5 percent to $58,440 for the 2022-23 academic year, according to an April 19 news release.
However, the tuition hike also coincides with the launch of Syracuse’s new Diversity Equity and Inclusion plan, slated for 2021 through 2026.
The plan, under its “Faculty Diversity and DEIA Curriculum Innovation” section, allocates a $50 million investment for faculty retention and diversification in hiring, a $1 million dollar budget for 2021, and $2 million dollar budget for 2022 and beyond.
“In early March of 2021, the Syracuse University Board of Trustees authorized a $50 million investment into faculty diversity hiring and retention initiatives. While the process for accessing these funds remains under development, the commitment has been made to substantively increase the number of diverse faculty members on campus,” the plan states.

Why would anyone go to a school that promotes such nonsense.
Fools and their money are soon parted.
When prices rise in other areas, congressional hearings are held, and the CEOs of a given industry are brought in to explain why prices are so high. Instead of forgiving student loans, why aren’t these university and college presidents being made to testify before congress? Why aren’t they being required to explain the outrageous tuition they charge? Why aren’t they being asked to justify why their students find themselves $100,000 in debt on graduation day?
I went to SUNY ESF @ Syracuse U in 84 & 85 for my junior /senior year. Paid in state SUNY tuition, but took many classes right next door at SU. Even back in the mid 80s all of us thought people were crazy to spend almost $9K/year to go to SU. We were paying about $2500/year at the state school next door.
Back then, it was mostly a place for rich people from Long Guyland to send their daughters to find a husband. JAP’s as they were known back then.
That’s probably more then the entire original building cost back when it was built.
I worked at the dome in events production. Best $5/hr job I ever had.
Actually, between football and basketball games that building brings a lot of money into the economy of central NY state.
Throw in concerts and every other sporting event and the parking revenue alone is huge. Not to mention the amount of money that is spent by people coming to dome events that go out to dinner and stay in a hotel.
If it was not for SU and the Carrier Dome WHY would anyone go to Syracuse? The only other tourist attraction in Syracuse is the NY State Fair grounds. Which runs annually in September.
Time to transfer to another School.
I see this increase in tuition as good. The more it’s raised the fewer who will be indoctrinated with their poison.
They should raise it another 15%.
“In the end, you shall lose everything you hold of value in this world, your wealth, your possessions, your freedoms, your friends, your family, your youth, even your life itself. But before you surrender them, make those who try to take them from you pay an extreme price for every little scrap they grasp for.” – Author not known
....very sad article....my spouse and I are both S.U. grads from the very early 1970s....we were there when the campus erupted in chaos after the U.S. incursion into Cambodia, if I recall....at that time in its history S.U. was quite the place to attend...we enjoyed our years there....wife was in a very nice sorority and I stayed a G.D.I. (Goddam Independent)...!! lots of memories of many football games in the now and long-demolished Archbold Stadium...the winters up there sucked...!!! 18 below zero for a week in the late 1960s....
Indoctrination is expensive 🤪
Where else would the idiots who graduated from a grievance studies program get a job if not for colleges?
Why should Syracuse need any more diversity? All of its students are already students of color. They’re Orange and orange is a color.
