A post-pandemic trend in higher education has historically helped wealthy families more than those struggling with college costs. Amid a broken year, colleges have faced pressure to reduce tuition, and dozens, like Wisconsin’s, even extended tuition freezes into the fall of 2021. These include Georgia’s and New York’s state systems, along with a handful of private colleges such as Texas Christian University and Butler University. But these freezes are misleading, as the actual costs of college can actually increase for some students who may rely on financial aid to attend.
