Cleverly done, Princeton

Making your tuition increase 0% for next year was a headline-grabber.

Cranking up room and board by 19.3% is exactly the kind of thing that raises revenue but escapes media attention, so I commend you on your sneakiness.

You wouldn't think that Princeton affects us but in fact it does....the rest of the prestige privates will be influenced by them, and that sort of sets the tone for what U-M can do with its out-of-state tuition (which is already eye-popping IMHO).

Hell, we should declare a tuition roll-back, and then raise room and board by 30%.

That sort of sneakiness is why they're an Ivy League school.

I've always sort of hated Princeton because Wilson went there. Boy, do I hate Wilson.

Yeah, that's kind of diabolical.

Well played, Tigers. Well played.

I can't wait to see how that is going to fan the flames in our student newspaper when our increase is announced.
