"What drives us is a commitment to keep BU affordable to a wide and diverse group of students, both in the U.S. and around the world," says Laurie Pohl, the vice president for enrollment and student affairs. -------------------- As a BU student, I do not believe this. It makes me extremely mad that only now with the economic slowdown are they considering the cost of a BU education. It's already over $50,000 a year! I think it's too late to say that we need to watch what we are spending. ----------------- Also, BU students want TRANSPARENCY! If you are charging us $50,000 a year then show us where our money is going. If a policy of transparency was in place this whole time, maybe we wouldn't have to be forced to see where we could cut costs. We would already know where the money is going.
