| University of Rochester Tuition Free for Vets |
| 2008-09-17 |
| The University of Rochester is a major private university. It's noted for its medical center and research, a well-funded laser lab, and research into controlled nuclear fusion. This is a huge opportunity for our veterans. |

| #6 Good points, but UR is 49% male so they're in pretty good shape. |

| #5 Heh. You also understand they're in the lead to capture the elusive adult male to repopulate their campus. There's nervousness in academia because of the disproportional number of women [after decades of rants of 'unfair' and 'discrimination']. Universities and colleges are starting to look bad [and for good reason]. What better source of 'recruiting' not only males, but males with discipline and focus. |

| #4 Smart move. I suspect the increase in alumni donations will more than offset the lost tuition. Unlike other schools that flip off ROTC and PO alums. |

| #1 U of R is one of the most expensive universities in the country... almost $40,000/year just for tuition. This is a big deal. |
