No one knows where the money goesâŠ
No one at the school would meet with me to break this figure down or get on the phone to talk about it. But Vanderbiltâs financial statements offer clues to how it spends money. In fiscal year 2023, 52% of its operating expenses went to faculty, staff and student salaries and wages, plus fringe benefits.
It is indeed a private school but public universities follow the same path U of H included. This is no wonder that Universities are losing students U of H included. The main question is:
Is it worth it? Falling attendance are the first indication.
NO SCHOOLâŠnone os producing ROI for an educational investment costing $400 -$500k.
How much are these graduates making in their first job?
Very few pay sticker price at private schools.

Might want to make it clear the parts of your post that were quotes from the article and what wasnât. You made it sound like you were trying to get meetings at Vanderbuilt about this, Chris.

Why is college admission falling?
Good gif explanation:
No idea why that is directed at me.

That was not directed at you Dustin even though it is a reply. Tuition is out of âcommon senseâ Admissions falling clearly reflect it.
Cost is certainly part of it. I think there is more going on though.

Itâs always about the money.

Does the value proposition equates to reality? Customers are speaking and saying NO.
Itâs part of it for sure.
But if it were all about the money, attendance wouldnât have taken so long to go down as costs went up exponentially. That wouldnât make sense.
As usual, the story is more complicated.

You know someone is just wanting to sayâŠCRT, DEI and Woke are ruining college and it is why attendance is declining.
Cost is up.
Attendance is down.
Customers are talking hence stadiums getting smaller.
That didnât dispute anything I said.
Costs have been going up for decades. The rate has actually been going down in recent years too.
All Universities public and private are either going to have to adjust or keep seeing an attendance decline. Customers are always right.
Clearly.
What stadiums are getting smaller and how does it directly relate to tuition costs? I know Fertita Center has less seats than Hofheinz but that has nothing to do with tuition.
