'Jeopardy' highlights Purdue, tuition freeze
The popular game show "Jeopardy" highlighted Purdue and the University's commitment to affordability in an episode airing Friday (July 15).
Contestants received the following answer during the Double Jeopardy round: "As governor, Mitch Daniels balanced the budget; as pres. of this univ., he froze tuition in 2013 after 36 years of increases." The answer: "What is Purdue University?"
Purdue announced this spring the intent to continue to hold tuition flat on the West Lafayette campus for a fifth consecutive year, which would extend Purdue's tuition freeze through the 2017-18 academic year. Tuition and fees through 2017-18 at the West Lafayette campus will remain virtually the same as they were in 2012-13.
