Not sure plasma screens will really offset the rate of inflation for everything else. If you really want tuition to go down engage alumni to give back to financial aid so fewer people are paying the sticker price.

yes obviously tvs alone are not that expensive I was just giving an example of the kind of frivolous spending that Northeastern could cut back on.

I agree. Northeastern puts a lot of emphasis on looking good at the expense of student's tuition fees. I know that Northeastern has to look appealing to attract new students, but looks is not all that NU has to offer. I would rather see this extra money be put toward financial aid instead of superficial improvements that don't really benefit the current students.
