Rather than reduce tuition, New York’s Hofstra University cut the size of the entering class at its law school from 320 to 200. Its dean, Eric Lane, who called this “the worst time in history” for law schools, said it wouldn’t have been able to maintain its quality if it had cut tuition, which is $49,154 this year and will rise about 2% in the fall.

Law schools at public universities dropped their median tuition by an average of 5% in 2011 and another 8% in 2012, according to the American Bar Association, as private law school tuition increased by an annual average of only 4%, the lowest in 26 years.

LMFAO

"And at the University of San Francisco, law school tuition will rise 2.9%, to $45,462, in the fall. It will be the smallest increase in the past 20 years, said John Trasviña, the dean, and the school could go no further. 'We considered it and found we could not do it,' he said, citing rising salary and infrastructure costs. 'You never want to raise tuition, but we had to.'"

LOL

JUST

USF is a complete and utter joke. It's already unranked and is akin to Golden Gate and the other bottom 15 law schools in the entire country. Anyone attending it should be admitted to a mental hospital

I think a lot of these people are too dumb to even realize what happened to them. If you look at the JDU'ers lamenting their fate, it's mostly Fordham types. Not bright, but not so dumb as to not even comprehend how badly they've been scammed.

Can anyone link to a law school budget? God, I would love to see what kind of accounting goes on to make $50k per year look "absolutely necessary."

I linked to i think hastings' budget one time. Something like 70% of their budget went to administration, salaries, benefits, and the like.

Here's UVA as an example. Total faculty payroll: $19.5M ($177k average)

Enrollment is a little over 1k, say an effective tuition of about $37k (tuition minus schollys), gives you about $40M of revenue. We see $19.5M going to faculty...what the fuck is the other $20.5M being spent on? Does it really take $20.5M for basic maintenance of a school?

I can't speak for every school ... but yeah. Graduate program revenue helps to fund undergraduates at the UCs and CSUs.

If that were actually the case, you'd think the Columbias and NYUs of the world would have cheaper undergrads, but those are out-of-control expensive too.
