Tuition Refund anyone?

metal

"The Harvard Law Record ran an April Fool's article promising a full refund to those law graduates who didn't receive job offers. Although it was a joke, I think the article made a valid argument for tuition refund: "

How about a wage/salary refund to employers when an employee doesn't live up the resume and portfolio? Or when s/he spends half the day surfing the web?

Screw you citizen.....Don't kill the buzzz. Besides, If it takes your firm $120,000 in salary to figure out that you hired a dud thats your fault. You always have the option to cut your losses BEFORE that much debt is accrued whereas we are taking a 6-8 year gamble before we know if our investment will pay out.

Ah, consider them fully busted.

And I'm no firm owner, thank goodness. I was just trying to make a point about opening up the "money back guarantee" concept.

How about just a reduction of tuition expenses across the board. Could start by slashing the six figure salaries enjoyed by the many hack professors.

...or reducing the several-million dollar salaries of basketball coaches?

Go Dawgs!
