This is absurdly criminal and an absolute embarrassment from my alma mater @TCU. No undergraduate degree is worth $200k. https://twitter.com/tcu360/status/1194324660160253953
TCU requires on-campus housing and a meal plan for your first two years. The chancellor has long advocated for making it three years.
TCU estimates the average cost for that to be $13,860 per year. https://financialaid.tcu.edu/cost/cost-of-attendance/undergraduate.php

So, while I'm aware there's scholarships and all that, the "market value" of a TCU is... $227,720
FOR A BACHELOR'S DEGREE

As of this writing, there are 1,951 HOUSES up for sale in Fort Worth that will cost less than four years at TCU.
How in the world do you justify this cost https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Fort-Worth_TX/price-na-227000

TCU's also sitting on an endowment of $1.7 billion.
ONE. POINT. SEVEN. BILLION. DOLLARS.
AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO INCREASE TUITION FOR A BACHELOR'S DEGREE TO MORE THAN 50K A YEAR
Lord preserve me if this institution ever calls me asking for a donation

I want to add one very important note here: @maryhappyface once donated $25 last year to a TCU campaign without me knowing.
@TCU sent me a letter, address to Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Moore, specifically thanking ME for my wife's donation.
That was the last time Mary donates to TCU.

Every day @mulaney's rant on college just gets better and better.
And TCU's absolutely my crackhead relative who already spent their money.

They are absolutely doing this and they should feel shame for it. https://twitter.com/FrogPreacher/status/1194664127274336258
TCU charging $50k/year for tuition alone for a bachelor's degree... what an absolute mockery of higher education and the purpose of college.
