$10,000 tuition cut pays off for St. Paul's Concordia University

Maura Lerner:

Last spring, as Linzy Heim was narrowing down her list of college choices, she got a call from the softball coach at Concordia University in St. Paul.
Did she know that the century-old Lutheran college was slashing its tuition by $10,000?

Her mom, Denice, was stunned.

"When we started looking, the tuition was quite frightening," she said. The price cut helped seal the deal.

Last weekend, Linzy, an All-Star softball pitcher from Plattsmouth, Neb., moved into the freshman women's dorm, Luther Hall, as part of Concordia's biggest entering class in decades.

Fascinating. quite different than Madison's K-12 bubble, where we spend twice the national average per student despite disastrous reading scores.
