Average student now pays $43,237 in tuition per year AFTER they reduced tuition 15%. The optimistic incoming students are depressing.

Have they defined what "tuition" means? I'm willing to bet a lot less than the quoted sticker price is eligible for the 15%. There's probably a lot of fees that get excluded.

Although I suspect that budget obligations might make any further significant tuition reduction unlikely, I think that lowering tuition to the mid-to upper 30s would be a more effective marketing move.

I'd be more worried about getting them to concede you've made a good faith effort to find employment after nine months. When you paid sticker and have 25k in free money waiting for you if you can hold off that 30k gig at a 3 man shop for a couple months it's gonna lead to some dicey situations. The articles on this have Brooklyn bragging about their 90% employment rate so they obviously think any kind of job counts.

Damn pretty wild move. This is basically one step away from come here and give me your federally funded tuition and I'll cut you in on 15%. I'll be damn surprised if government funding allows this to happen. But if it does, I def would be heading to Brooklyn before any NY law school not NYU and Columbia. Basically get 3 years of ample free living money and then a 4 year of 25k lump sum which is like 35k after tax. All to repay what a fraction of that later under PAYE.
