<p>College</a> cuts its tuition by 33% – Schools of Thought - CNN.com Blogs</p>
<p>It’s explained right in the article - it’s not going to change anything for the admitted students, it will just encourage more people to apply, because of the lower sticker price that nobody pays anyway.</p>
<p>He comments that financial aid will be lowered proportionally, but in reality any federal based aid will be cut to educe the COA to exactly the same as it was before the tuition reduction. The article also says the change applies to incoming freshmen and transfer student. Does that mean those already there will still pay the higher tuition, or were they covering themselves to make sure current students don’t try to argue that it should be retroactive?</p>
<p>To my mind, this indicates that the true full-pay students were few and far between are the old tuition rate.</p>
