No tuition break for Rutgers students as they head into a remote semester

[Tango Two]

Tuition and fees at Rutgers will be holding steady for the fall 2020 semester, despite most classes being held online and access to on-campus housing being limited due to the coronavirus, prompting outrage from current students.

Unlike Princeton, which is offering students a 10% discount on remote education, Rutgers is charging the same per-credit rate for online courses as for the limited in-person classes.

Rutgers students protest tuition, fees for fall remote instruction


NEW BRUNSWICK – Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway said the university recently froze a proposed 3% tuition hike because of the likelihood the COVID-19 pandemic would lead to another semester of remote instruction, which Holloway announced Monday.

But the tuition freeze isn’t enough for many Rutgers students who are demanding further reductions in costs, including the elimination of campus and other fees.

I'd imagine Princeton has a little more margin in their costs over tuition paid than we do.

You do get full credit for online course don't you? Sure it's a different experience but ultimately that's what you're paying for, no?
