Brooklyn Law Drops Tuition 15%

Post by exitoptions » Thu Apr 03, 2014 6:44 pm

It's a start. We'll see if other middling institutions follow suit. Also interested to see if they just end up taking it out of grants rather than cutting faculty or admin positions.

It doesn't go into effect until Fall 2015 though.

But it's a good start.

For marketing purposes, they should just give everyone an additional 15% "scholarship" instead

I dont know. This is unique. Would we be talking about a school giving out more scholarship money than usual?
