“In the Nov. 7 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education the tuition and fees for most of the universities in the United States are given for 2007/2008 and 2008/2009. Duke’s tuition and fees for 2008/2009 are $37,925, a 6.8% increase over the previous year. For Princeton the tuition and fees for 2008/2009 are $34,920, for Harvard they are $36,173 and for Yale they are $35,300. In light of current economic conditions, do you think that our higher tuition and fees are sustainable at Duke?”
