[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elon's endowment is shockingly low, both overall and per-capita. Richmond's is great both overall and per-capita. If you want a well-resourced institution that is in a fantastic position to weather the endowment cliff, go with Richmond.[/quote]

Will people pay 80k for UR when they have better options because of the enrollment cliff?[/quote]
I don't know how post-enrollment cliff interest would be any different from pre-2010 interest, so...yes.[/quote]

The enrollment cliff changes supply and demand. If consumers have more choices because there are less applicants how would interest in UR not change? [/quote]
Because numbers would just be returning to pre-2010 ish numbers across the board? So consumers would have the same choices they would've had in 2005? Also, any place with a sub 35% acceptance rate could probably fill their class 2x over and get pretty similar compositions, so it isn't the case that even if interest did wane UR would be in deep trouble. Their endowment is so large they could also just half the class size.[/quote]

Will they charge 2005 tuition and pay professors 2005 salaries?[/quote]
Why would they lower their tuition? If anything, they'll raise it in line with what they've done every single year or more. They certainly have more power to raise than Elon, if you're suggesting the opposite. [/quote]

If they have less students to choose from they’ll have to lower tuition. They are too expensive for the enrollment cliff and not T10. UR will have to give merit like Elon.[/quote]
