21. Closing Comments
I’ll gladly
 Tuition and fees are consume what
reaching all new kinds of lil discretionary
expensive income you
 Students need aid more have left after
than ever college
 Almost half of the expense
is non-educational related
 School is getting record
state support while other
schools are seeing theirs
diminished
 Lowering cost can be done
without sacrificing the
pillars of a college
education
