How were they able to reduce tuition? BTW, I think the federal funding of education is partially responsible for the inflation of school tuition.

This is from Eureka's website and reveals much about their integrity:
Eureka College is pleased to announce The Eureka Idea, a new initiative that lowers tuition to $13,000, a 30% reduction, beginning in the fall of 2004.

Why are we doing this?
The pricing of college tuition is out of control and so is the way it is presented to prospective students and their parents. We care about our students and their families and are trying to make it easier for them to understand exactly what they are being asked to pay and the value that they will receive for that tuition. Ask a number of students on most college campuses and you will find that no two people pay the same tuition. This is because the final amount paid is arrived at through an incredibly complex set of forms, meetings and bargaining sessions. Most students and their families pay different amounts of money to get the same basic educational value. This shell game of tuition pricing is one of the key factors in the increasing cost of education. Eureka College is determined to eliminate the pain surrounding tuition and financial aid. We make it easier to know the real bottom line.

Exactly, look what government spending has done to medical care.
