How does BYU pull it off financially without Church ownership?

Quintuple tuition.

I think it's a terrible idea and I would not encourage my children to attend that a church-free BYU.

Agree. Take out the church and what does BYU really offer over other

People here laughed at me when I suggested the same thing a few weeks ago.

Still laughing

That would seriously diminish my fanhood, and it would lead me to guide my

I don't really understand this view.

Jay Rick

It would radically change and I wouldn't give a flying rat's caboose about it

5/5/16 11:14am

I'm curious why and how you think it would change.

Jay Rick

5/5/16 11:15am

Everything BYU is done for what's best spiritually first. If separated

Bobmarleyjr

It's simple. It is now no longer price competitive with some comparable state schools. It will be less academically

TaiJuan

5/5/16 11:18am

It wouldn't be like SVU, SVU is a tiny school so its easier to maintain

WhiteKnight

Well, to be fair, I don't care about SVU bc I didn't go there. But I have

How would it remain overwhelmingly Mormon?

I think the only way it could even plausibly continue to exist were if it were ceded to the State to manage. I think

TaiJuan

Curious: are there other ways that the church could subsidize the cost?

Jay Rick

5/5/16 11:37am

Tuition at Notre Dame and Boston College is $48k per year

hansel

BYU operates much cheaper than other private schools too. Staff paid less

Bobmarleyjr

5/5/16 12:02pm

Interesting. Thanks for the thoughts.

Jay Rick

I think we need to see the positives of BYU

mudpupper

Like it or not, the Brethren consider BYU an extension of the Church.

5/5/16 11:25am

I am opposed to the idea presently but acknowledge that could change

5/5/16 11:41am

This is how I feel as well. If the choice is between BYU becoming a separate

Jay Rick

5/5/16 11:55am

Yes I do not support changing anything right now

Perpetual Education Fund makes one of the main points of the article moot.

The author is totally wrong on his premise: BYU cannot be an "LDS" school if it

People keep saying that it can't be an lds school without official affiliation,

Jay Rick

From someone high up in the SVU administration: the school is "LDS Lite"; it is

How much demand is there for BYU at 4x the price? Substantially less. That means fewer applicants, lower admissions
