I'd be grabbing for these courses with both hands if they fit into my degree plan.
Am I the only one who finds this response a little bit gross and unsettling? 'I can afford these courses, therefore there is no need to lower the cost.'
Alternative ASU pricing suggestion: lower the cost for everyone, except New Yorkers.
I think it's about sharing a different perspective. There's no way to make the price of something make everyone happy. At the end of the day, they are a state university which is taxpayer funded. Arizona taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing the cost of tuition so that people around the US and the world can get a better deal on tuition. I also live in New York State and cannot take a class at a state school - community college, college, or university in the SUNY system for $425. This is very in expensive tuition for many of us. Sure it would be great for it to be less, but that's not realistic as the university is taxpayer funded. At the end of the say, the university is a business and must be profitable to remain open. It's also a university that is well thought of nationwide.
