A lot of the private schools are scared shitless about Cuomo's tuition-free CUNY/SUNY.

They should, considering the obscene amount they charge for tuition. I don't remember Fordham ever being that expensive, even allowing for inflation. It used to be a good school for working class kids. I suppose it's still a good school - but for who?
