Placing a freeze on hiring at BU is all for naught. Students and their parents that find a way to fund BU's ridiculous tuition are still going to find ways of paying for tuition in the future. Also, we all know that BU will conveniently unfreeze hiring right before announcing next academic year's tuition price so that they have a way to justify another 5% increase. If BU wants to look out for its students, how about improving residence life? BU administrators would not last one night in South Campus's run-down, infested, residences for which they dastardly charge above "market prices."
