[Mr. Mojo]

CU officials project the decrease could translate into a loss of $15 million in tuition revenue.

Good!

[ken21]

i gotta got to the supermarket.

back later.

[Lexington Green]

I'll wager alumini donations are way down too - due to Churchill

[jwalburg]

Imagine that.

[Rummyfan]

This is hitting them where it hurts, especially as out-of-staters pay more tuition $$$$. How long before someone screams that you're censoring Ward Churchill by not sending your kid to CU?

[gridlock]

CU is a joke. Between the football/prostitution scandal and Ward Churchill, they have made their beds. Now they must lie in it.

Maybe folks are finally wising up to the commie indoctrination going on at universities and colleges all over America!

Go Ave Maria College & Ave Maria University!

[Bahbah]

"It's time for the state to show leadership and recognize that excellent universities don't come for free and that tuition can't cover the whole costs."

Maybe it's time for CU to actually try to become an excellent University with the already overinflated budget with which they operate. I know where they could save enough to pay out of state tuition for 5 students right off the bat.

[camle]

tha bad part about living in an ivory tower is that there's little to eat when the cash cow dries up.

[SaveTheChief]

i gotta got to the supermarket.

And I really should take that shower....

[TheBigB]

Sounds like the chickens are coming home to roost.

[CIDKauf]

Not to mention that there have been 5 coolege student deaths due to alcohol in Colorado that has to be affecting all tuitions. As a father of a high school senior, I am waiting with anticipation what will happen next at CU. I would not even consider sending my daughter into the mad house Boulder, CO. Forget it.

[jbstrick]

I still can't believe the Big XII named Coach Barnett "coach of the year'.

[NEBUCHADNEZZAR1961]

Yes!!! Punish the universities for their anti-American tripe.

[NativeNewYorker]

CU got dropped off my kids' prospective SAFETY school list after the football scandal. The Churchill thing seals it.

[Drango]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[green pastures]

Yeah, maybe some people are even pushing back...

[doc30]

I wonder how many of these are foreign students. She is from Japan and attended college in the U.S. The cost for a foreign student in the U.S. was slightly less than tuition for her to attend a Japanese college back home. If the U.S. schools are pricing their tuition too high, these foreign student's will no longer see a U.S. education as cost equivalent to their own. They will travel abroad to where the cost and education are comparable or they will stay home. The U.S. schools are pricing themselves out of the market and are losing foreign funding that subsidizes in-state tuition. Maybe the answer is to eliminate the subsidy for in state tuition.

You know the school also has a quieter scandal going on with school funds buying over $300k in alcohol in the fiscal year. If the school admin doesn't like the party school title they have received, maybe they should start looking at their own behavior first.
