WINSTON-SALEM — The board of trustees at Wake Forest University approved Friday raising undergraduate student tuition by 3.25 percent to $45,638 for the 2014-15 academic year.
The trustees said the tuition increase is the smallest by percentage in more than 30 years, and the fifth consecutive academic year the increase has been below 4 percent.
Counting increases in room, board and other fees, the overall 2014-15 cost of attendance is projected to increase 3.8 percent to $ 62,538 . That would put the cost of attending Wake Forest at $250,152 over four years at the 2014-15 rate.
“Preserving our tradition as a place of opportunity is very important to Wake Forest,” university President Nathan Hatch said in a statement.

I love the placement of the quote about "opportunity" right after they quote the quarter of a million dollar pricetag to attend Wake.

How many college pig skins are worth a quarter of a million dollar investment? Not many, and certainly not Wake's.

Clever.
 
Is Wellman taking a paycut if he does stay like an impossibility?

I mean at some point the BOT has to say "Wellman, bro. Two mil? Lets make that $500k. Get some fans in the seats and we can talk."

I think that $2mm was a one-year deal where he got paid out a bunch of bonuses that were accruing. I think his normal pay is $750k or something.

Someone correct me, if that's wrong
 
I think that my put us slightly ahead of the recent Duke price announce. That's too much. We need some changes somewhere.
That compounding 4% annual increase is starting to mount up big time.
 
Wake does give something like 1/3rd of tuition costs back in grants, so those numbers are pretty misleading. I mean the cost of WFU was something like $100-120k and I walked outta there with about $30k in a debt and my parents paid about $2k/year.

Plenty of parents of 18-year old females will still gladly pay dearly for the slut-shaming #culture that lil-ole WFU provides.

Hey Nate, how 'bout you take this "opportunity" to get over yourself and your quarter-million dollars? Get out of here with that.
 
Wake was right at $30,000 a year when I started in 2000. Adjusted for inflation, that would be around $41,000 today (or about $160,000 for 4 years). What the fuck is going on?
 
The most maddening statistic is that Administrative staff has grown from 56 persons in 1998 to over 220. This during the time when the student body has grown 21%. Fucking ridiculous.

Wellman and Grobe making $2.4 and mid level administrators making over $300k per year. Obscene and un necessary. This is not a corporation where stock options are in play. It is a liberal arts oriented university.

Professors are making below the mean nationally. The issue is administrative bloat. No fucking way Hatch should be making $1.5 million per year.

All of these people need ot be removed and if we had a board that had any brains and balls they would make some changes. Very disappointing. No way I am giving any money to these idiots

As upset as I may be about Wake Forest athletics, this is what really breaks my heart. I have had to tell my children that the education at Wake is not worth the price. Go someplace less expensive for undergraduate and spend the money on graduate school.
