Sadly it will become more exclusive, just run the future numbers for LDS HS kids

the numbers will tell you that BYU at some point will be as hard to get into as Stanford. It won't ever be a Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, etc. because it will never do the research and grant the PhDs....that I am OK with. BYU-I and BYU-P (Pathways) will be the future for most LDS kids college experience in the future, although BYU-I will soon start to peak as well.

My two wishes for BYU, the institution.

Let's be honest, if every undergrad had his/her tuition raised $1000/yr - not a

for 10% more students you need more Phds and admin staff

Nat Gas Man

Raise it by $2k then. That's still under $10k for the degree, and $10k or more

#2 isn't needed. That's exactly why BYU-Idaho exists

It's not the same

I'm not going to slam BYU-I because I think it's great in a lot

riboflavin

ByuI can just as easily accomplish number 2

Is BYUI denying anybody at this point?

I would love to see #2 even more than #1

Sounds like a bad west concourse joke.

I guess the question is: if there's a code of conduct by BYU that includes

I largely agree. I guess that interim punitive measures, short of being kicked

BYU-I serves as somewhat of a release valve for BYU.

#2 Here's a great way to start. Unsubsidized tuition after 4 years!

Make it 9 semesters. Almost no one graduates in 8 semesters anymore.

9/8/17 1:00pm

although schools that have made this part of admissions have seen the average

In the eyes of the church, #2 is done with the other church schools BYU-I and

Great ideas, but wishes don't always come true. It's not like there are geodes

I don't agree with #2 unless huge changes are made.

How can campus be overcrowded?

It is only overcrowded between classes

My vote: 1. Bishops (priesthood keys) monitor the honor code. 2. We cut enrollment by 10% and double tuition. My #3

Not gonna happen. BYU won't become your college prep boy exclusive fantasy school. Not its mission.

so I want the school to be better and place grads with better/higher paying jobs and all of a sudden that means I want

I read this as you wanting it to look more like a Stanford or Northwestern than

TaiJuan

9/8/17 1:42pm

You escalated it by wanting it to be more exclusive. I just described what you wanted it to be.

9/8/17 1:48pm

too many have a vastly inflated picture of BYU's status in the job market. It's easily described this way... Why don't

HarlemCoug

personally I wouldn't hate it if BYU eliminated the B School undergrad programs

Double tuition = decreased student debt?

JuicyJam

I get calls from BYU less than once per year. They should be more aggressive. My grad school reaches out 2x/yr.

BYU needs to significantly raise tuition. It'd still be best value around.

why?

Just double the tuition and require a FASA for every student, then grant more

Nat Gas Man

I don't think I've ever met, nor heard of any student who passed on BYU because of cost. Have you?

I know several. Scholarship to UVU was more important than going to BYU

Dissenter

there are lots, all my brother's kids went to the U because of scholarships

Nat Gas Man

Ah. Scholarships is not the same as affordability, which is what I was thinking of.

There would be too much variation in how bishops might uphold the honor code.
