<p>Let’s tell the truth: Providence is featured in this sob story giving an extra thousand or two to a handful of those who appealed – after Providence raised its tuition, fees, room & board (probably full COA, though the story doesn’t say this) for next year’s freshmen to $53,000 – a 19% increase! Nineteen percent! </p>
<p>So no alligator tears for the hard job of the godmother at Providence – they’re clearly funding the miserable little increases they’re funding out of what they’re gouging other families on.</p>
<p>They should be ashamed.</p>
