Syracuse investing $100 million in students... oh, and raising tuition

Yes, this is largely a Syracuse Orange sports blog, but anyone that’s spent time here over the years knows it touches on other subjects with varying degrees of relation to that topic. One that’s actually pretty close to what we’re supposed to be doing here: Syracuse University and its general affairs.

On Wednesday, the school announced it would be investing $100 million in academic programs and the student experience over the next five years. Some of the things covered there:

  • Health
  • Study abroad
  • Greater alumni networking structure
  • Growing faculty
  • Fundraising for need-based scholarships and financial aid
  • Reducing graduating student debt

The school even announced administrative cost cutting of over $30 million.
