> Not only is this patently false, the administration has discovered ,thanks to the pandemic, that people are re-evaluating the cost of a college degree. Ithaca college has an endowment of $350 million, is heavily subsidized by the government, and the "everyone should go to college" lunacy they push in public schools will pay dividends for decades to come. I don't think they're hurting, or that they will notice that a few people are "re-evaluating". > The truth is, the college is massively overpriced compared to the amenities it provides. Dorms are old and the food is a level above prison tier. Standard operating procedure is therefor to spend a few hundred million through financing to upgrade the dorms to resort spas, turn the cafeteria into some mall-style food court with prices double what they are 3 miles down the road at the identical restaurant name, and raise tuition to cover all these additional costs. > Either figure out how to become more affordable or spiral the drain. That spiral can last decades, until a date far past the retirement of anyone currently in charge.
