In this brief commentary, the speaker evaluates Saint Louis University's (SLU) net tuition revenue performance, noting that despite the university's prestige and overall financial health, its tuition revenue growth falls far short of expectations. The speaker references a benchmark of the 75th percentile, which would suggest an approximate 18% growth rate, but SLU is only achieving about 5.6% growth and even posted negative growth in 2021, the COVID year. The speaker expresses dissatisfaction with these figures and suggests that SLU has fixable problems to improve its tuition revenue outcomes.

look at their net tuition revenue, not great. I mean, for a school of this prestige, I would expect them to be really close to the 75th percentile here with a net tuition revenue growth of about 18%. And they're seriously underperforming that. And in fact, we're negative in '21. That's the COVID year, but still shouldn't be going negative if you're SLU. So I wouldn't be happy with that. Of course, if I were working at SLU, this is one of the most prestigious schools in the country. They should be doing much better than 5.6% growth on net tuition revenue. So they have some problems there that they can definitely fix.
