I thought they used to publish the figures in the "President's Report" in La Salle Magazine. But I can't recall reading it recently???

Heard through the grapevine that La Salle may be looking to sell it's Bucks County Center building in Newtown to raise additional capital, and would then lease back it's current classroom facilities, etc. at that location from the new owner.

5 years old but I'm sure it still holds true now: Tuition & Fees income is net of a discount of nearly 35%.
Why have a listed tuition of $40k when you are only going to collect $26k? Is the pool of students paying full price really offsetting the amount of potential students that look at $40k in sticker shock and move on to another school? Especially if those students are in the 1100-1300 SAT range which is who we should be targeting.
My brain just can't comprehend how Higher Ed and Healthcare price their products, I dunno.

While I agree that the way Higher Ed and Healthcare price everything seems crazy given the amount of discount, setting the price at a certain point drives grant/loan money from the government - and the government is only to give them a certain percentage rather than full freight. Same thing happens with insurance reimbursements for Healthcare.

Talk about your classic screw-up. Eligibility issues? Cheyney might have to forfeit about 3 football wins over the last 5-10 years? Probably needs to be shut down, has been going on for years, flying by the "skin of their teeth" for some time. Something tells me they'll be a state solution/bailout? they always find the money.

The tuition bubble is starting to pop...maybe the pendulum will swing back in balance, and the true value of a college education will be reflected in the tuition price. Once people start defaulting on their student loans, it is only going to get worse. Once tuition started getting over $20,000 a year, everyone should have had their eyes open. I'm LaSalle gold and blue thru and thru, but we're not Notre Dame. A LaSallian education isn't worth $50,000 grand a year, it isn't worth $40,000 grand a year, and I don't know that its worth $30,000 a year (which is where it was when I was there, room and board included). The college tuition explosion is a bubble, just like the real estate bubble of 10 years ago, and the .com bubble of 15 years ago. I can't understand why those in charge couldn't forsee this bubble popping as it grew larger and larger. In the next few years higher education will be much different. Private universities will be forced to use online streaming as a top-level professor will not be tied to one institution but rather receive his compensation from hundreds of universities. Professors sitting around campus teaching just a few hours per week to just students on their own campus are being phased out. Certification testing will become even more specialized going forward. Dual majors will become mandatory for many students who need to have diversified skills. Many smaller universities without name recognition will be out of business in the next 5 years.

Hard to even do a tuition freeze without spending cuts for a school like La Salle, where we do not have a Harvard-size endowment safety net.

Please tell me that it was Philly.com mistake and that La Salle did not drop the ball here. If the school did drop the ball then Colleen needs to scorch the earth.

Lest we all forget, as mentioned in the August 25th philly.com story about the 23 layoffs, the La Salle media spokesman / liaison and his boss ( head of Communications ? ) were both among those RIF'd. At least for the immediate short term, there may not be anyone minding the in-house PR store ( yet ).

Yeah, my assumption is they have no one in place to give any sort of accurate answer for this type of question. It may be a while, too, I'd venture to guess. In the grand scheme of things, La Salle not being mentioned in a puff piece like this is not the end of the world. It's a different story if something bad happens. But you can only do so much when you just laid off the PR person for the past 15 years or so.

Hmmmm... saying we have a new president, business school nearing completion, major spirtual leader and prob a handful of other small campus impovements since May requires a full complement of communication specialists. Enough excuses it's a f!#k up.

Edit: La Salle declined to be included. Idiocy. If true, this crap needs to stop right now and people need to be held accountable or else. Last November, I attended a Silent Auction at Roman Catholic HS. There were baskets that you could make a bid on to win. I noticed SJU, Drexel, Temple and Villanova baskets which had a school sweatshirt, a couple of tickets to a MBB game and some other small items. I asked someone why there was no La Salle basket. The answer was "we called twice and were told on the second call that they would not be sending anything". I was livid. Also, last year Roman honored the 125 most influential alums of the school during their 125th Anniversary of the school. There was a huge dinner in Bensalem with overflow crowd of about 500 people. I attended the event which was first class in every way. There were about 18-20 alums of Roman ( Speedy, Chuck Storm, WW II war heroes, etc..) that were honored who also attended La Salle. I was told that Roman sent a letter with highlights of the joint alums to La Salle. Hopes were to honor these man in the La Salle Magazine or do something like send a letter or ANYTHING. I was told that there was NO RESPONSE from La Salle to either correspondence. I can tell you from at least two members of the RCHS BOT who also happen to be La Salle alums that this did not go over well. In fact, they are pissed (I rarely use that word but I am that mad) because a fair number of RCHS kids go on to attend La Salle. In fact, recently 15 enrolled at La Salle. God knows we could use 15 male students in the school. I know that President Hanycz reads this board. It is my hope that she reads this heartfelt message. I hope she finds time in her busy schedule to either reply publicly or send me a private message. Also, it is RCHS's stated goal to be tuition free at some point in the future. They are in the process of raising $100 million. I would not doubt the alumni. They took on the Archdiocese and won. They are growing in all phases. La Salle could take a lesson from the trials and tribulations of Roman Catholic High.

holy hell - I spent two minutes scrolling down that article because there were so many schools included (I did not even bother to count), and I could not believe that schools halfway across Pennsylvania were involved (i.e. Bucknell) yet La Salle "declined" the opp. easy opening for some good publicity.
all the small things add up.

They did not decline. I sent an email to Philly.com asking why we were not included. They actually called me. Our two PR people were part of the layoff and they could not pull something together. As of today Philly.com does not have anything. So I guess they declined in a round about manner. I am going to follow up with an email to the new Pres.

I think the earth was scorched with or without her input. In any event there was back up plan to address the functions of the people let go. Very short sighted and shows lack of planning.

Please address my two items with RCHS with her when you can your chance. I believe "little" stuff like this can (and already has become) a bigger issue. I would like to see lemonade made out of these lemons. I believe it can. Also Tom Leonard is a major mover in the RCHS campaign to be tuition free. Tom is also a La Salle grad. Through him they have enlisted some of the biggest financial and political people in this city. One of the largest real estate development firms is on board. One of the partners is a University of Chicago grad who said that his school doesn't need the money but he can make a difference at RCHS.

I just noticed that my post was not correct. I wrote "In any event there was back up plan to address the functions of the people let go." I meant to say "In any event there was NO back up plan to address the functions of the people let go."

I am going to assume Sr because of the financial and political aspect of his doings.. But I did come across TL Sr on several occasions, about 10 years ago, and that man is absolutely first class.. He has done so much for the University and athletics that will go under the radar.. This was well before his daughters scholarship fund, which has given a lot to La Salle..
