Ohio State's Gordon Gee proposes "differential" tuition

Daniel de Vise:

Differential tuition" as a pricing concept doesn't get much discussion in higher education; it's easy to get lost in the variables. But Gordon Gee, president of Ohio State University and a national higher education leader, says he's thinking about it. "We do have to start differentiating tuition costs," he said, in a visit to the Post this week.

Maybe the practice isn't so uncommon as we think.

A recent survey by the Cornell Higher Education Research Institute, reported in Inside Higher Ed, found 143 public institutions that had differential tuition policies, meaning that they charge different rates for students with different majors.
