...Bunting has some very workable alternatives open to her. On the one hand, she could increase the room and board fees for both on and off-campus residents. She has mentioned this possibility, and has claimed that the only alternative to changing the room-and-board structure would be to add $130 to the room rate and $35 to the board rate, making the total cost of room and board $990 in the off-campus houses and $1335 in the dorms.
