The College ended the fiscal year with a 14% profit margin exceeding the stated goal of 7.5% profit margin. Student revenue was 6% higher than the prior year.

Facts are TESU is not poor. IF TESU was given ZERO NJ tax money they would still earn $3 Million profit above that. The percentage of the budget made up of tax money (5%) is irrelevant with a 10-14% profit margin.
The Big 3 three fee model does make a profit. Excelsior College with about the same exact fees is an independent non-profit as they do not need NY tax money. I would love to read all three of the Big 3's 2017 budget summary side by side.
If you have math proof I would love to read the link?
You finally moved your goalposts all the way around to what I said in the beginning. Fees are directly related to their budget and tax dollars are pretty much irrelevant. Quite a long ways from your post lamenting the massive amount of tax dollars NJ was spending. Whether they have raised fees too much is quite a separate argument.
