Liberty University Announces Upcoming Tuition Decrease

The board of trustees at Liberty University has announced that tuition will be decreased for all students: in state, out-of-state, graduate students, and undergraduates. The president of the university, Dr. Jerry Falwell Jr., has issued this agreement from the board towards this significant action.

The programs are to be cut are women's studies, ornithology department, arts and sciences honors program, women's golf team, men's golf team, human resources management institute, university hosts and hostesses program, and the department of Eastern languages.

Falwell issued a statement saying, "I am extremely pleased that the board has seen fit to follow our recommendations on lowering tuition costs. During the past several years, we have had to raise tuition a number of times for all our students. Out of state students have been particularly hard-hit. For some time, we have been afraid that we have been pricing ourselves out of the market, even with in-state students. With more and more people attending junior colleges and other universities in the state, we have recognized that those who want to come to this university must have some relief."
