Foreshadowing Case

Is it fair to charge one customer a higher price for the same product because they have more money? Most people would say no, just because they earn more money doesn't mean they should have to spend it. This is one of the reasons why it's not right to consider basing college tuition prices on income. Determining how much a student pays for college based on income could give everyone an equal opportunity to go. However, it would create budget issues, unfair pricing and a lack of student motivation. Therefore, college tuition prices should remain the same.

1. Setting college tuition prices differently for every person would create budget issues for many schools. 2. If colleges must make budget cuts it affects what classes or even school a student will choose. 3. Budget cuts have definitely put much more pressure on the registration process for all students," says Kalyani Phansalker, student at The College of William and Mary (Phansalkar). 4. Students don't need anymore stress than they already have, so worrying about the school won't do any good for them or their grades. 5. Without as much money as a college would like to have, they would have to cut some classes. 6. Citrus College has had to cut its course offerings by fifteen percent this fall (Baumfeld). 7. With all the budget cuts schools have to turn somewhere to make it up. 8. Some may say people paying more money would make up for the students paying less. 9. This is not true though because there are not enough families making enough money to support a college. 10. If colleges want to avoid shutting down and cutting class they need to keep tuition prices as they are.

1. Pricing college tuition differently is unfair in many ways. 2. Naturally the price of college tuition will rise, but it shouldn't rise more for some people than others. 3. A public, two-year college tuition has gone up 7.3 percent since last year and will no doubt continue to rise (College Costs). 4. For some families making a higher income doesn't mean they can afford a rise in what it is costing them to pay for college. 5. People whose families are wealthier shouldn't have to pay more just because they were smart in their savings and planned ahead. 6. About forty percent of families last year were able to pay for college without borrowing anything (Clark). 7. That means sixty percent couldn't pay and, with a new system, would have their tuition lowered. The other forty percent could be raised. Doing that is completely unfair because the middle and lower class get a break while the upper class is forced to pay too much. 8. An argument can be made that basing tuition on income is good because it give everyone a fair chance to go to college. 9. However, they fail to realize the same amount of people go to college. Colleges cannot accept more people just because they can afford it. 10. Different college tuition is unfair because everyone gets the same education and
