For a second there, I thought you meant a 10 to 15 % reduction in tuition. Heh heh heh - silly me . . .

If Stanford wanted to balance its budget with a tuition INCREASE that likely would be a sensible move IMHO.   The on-campus costs to educate students and implement social distancing for workers will soar in the next 18-24 months, and today tuition does not come close to covering the costs.

Companies that have any ability to pass their COVID mitigation costs along will start doing that in 2021.    An enterprise that turns away routinely turns away 96% of its potential customers likely has that pricing power.

Only if they get Harvard to do the same.

Otherwise Stanford becomes a playground only for the super wealthy plus the 20% of the lower (middle) class that they are willing to let come at a reduced price.
