Incoming Duke President Prioritizes Student Aid

Underwriting need-based financial aid for undergraduates “will absolutely be a top priority” for Duke University going forward, as it has been already, incoming President Vince Price told faculty members on Thursday.  As a priority, that answers both the concern families have about the rising cost of higher education, and the need to recruit a broader and more diverse range of talent than universities did historically, Price said during a special, get-acquainted meeting with Duke’s Academic Council.
