At Harvard, the final tuition, based on an amalgamation of both monetary and social factors, is the product of what the Treasurer of the University D. Ronald Daniel calls a "dialogue" between Knowles and the corporation.
Familiar with the budgets of all the schools, the corporation guides Knowles through the process. Then, in the late spring, Daniel and his colleagues must approve Knowles's tuition value.
University officials say Knowles' decision is based in part on his evaluation of the tuition market. While they may not always admit it, all schools are watching their competition, aiming to lure prospective students with attractive tuition rates.
With the cushion of a strong endowment and a successful Capital Campaign, Knowles does not currently face a budget crunch, which might require a more direct tie between tuition and per-student cost.
Knowles has made much in the past few years of his ability to "decrease the increase" of tuition from year to year.
