FYI, Parents/students pay $51,000 but the cost of educating each student is about $80,000/yr. Endowments cover about 24-25% of operating budget that parents don’t cover, along with gifts and grants. The losses from the endowment and reduced gifts resulted in the budget cuts – forcing all areas of the college to reduce spending/recoup costs. Besides, lets think of the environmental costs.
