Recommendations from the forum will serve as a roadmap for the future–hopefully carving a path toward stabilizing tuition costs that reflect the value of a UMass education.

The focus group will then draft recommendations that will, in the chancellor’s own words, ensure “the affordability and value that this university has for students and families.” Once the focus group has thrashed out their recommendations, they will be presented to Chancellor Subbaswamy, who will make the final decision on which, if any, will be implemented.
