Sweet Briar College Attracts Attention for Curricular and Pricing Changes

Sweet Briar College continues to attract a lot of interest in the press and there were at least three articles this past week as students started the fall semester.  New SBC president, Meredith Woo also announced plans for curricular changes and an initiative designed to reduce tuition and discounting. 

Lawrence Biemiller's "After All but Closing, Sweet Briar Will Shift Curriculum and Pricing," was published by The Chronicle of Higher Education on September 6, 2017.  Diverse Issues in Higher Education also published, "Sweet Briar Preparing for Fresh Start," by Catherine Morris on the same date. 
Lucie Laovsky's "Back From The Brink Sweet Briar College Slashes Tuition--Who's Next?" was published by Forbes on September 7, 2017 and as the headline implies, focuses on tuition and discounting.
An earlier article by Paula C. Squires, "Remaking Sweet Briar," was published by Virginia Business on August 30, 2017 and includes a lengthy interview with President Woo.
