Too lazy to find the old thread where some of y'all were asking about some of these stats:

https://give.marquette.edu/presidents-society-impact?erid=55ba2287-cec3-49d3-ab67-98d7af4f1424&trid=55ba2287-cec3-49d3-ab67-98d7af4f1424



The most impressive number among many is the first generation number.

I don't see anything about the $2,000 tuition increase?

80% do community service? That seems crazy high.

To be celebrated.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Not really.  It's essentially required in a variety of core classes. Both my kids had some as part of regular curriculum.  (They did plenty on their own too.)

Tuition has gone up every year since..... wait for it...... 1881.

Unfortunately, you can no longer pay for your tuition with kegs of beer.  Perhaps they stopped doing it when students said they would rather keep the beer and use cash.

It actually sounds about right; maybe even a little low.

Requirements. Probably everyone outside of seniors were forced to do community service for at least 1 class.

Then, I guess the percentage seems completely irrelevant, and low.

Damn, I don’t remember what the hell I did for community service. Or which class required it

Yet I doubt any other 10-year period has a ~49% hike like we've seen since 08-09 to 18-19.

Very cynical of you. 

One event alone involves over 1,300 students, none of whom are required to attend:

https://marquettewire.org/4013443/news/student-participate-in-30th-hunger-clean-up/

There are also hundreds of kids annually who give up their Spring Break to do service trips, including ones through this disaster relief organization that was started by a Marquette student:

BTW, there is no drinking allowed on those Spring Break trips, and it is strictly enforced.

How much has it gone up at similar private universities?

Probably very similar but I don't want to spend the time to do the research.  It's not a Marquette specific issue. 

Raw tuition numbers are irrelevant without knowing the discounts.

I agree in part, but I would be willing to bet the discounts haven't increased at the same rate as tuition.  Today's cost of attendance in 2009 dollars is way more than it was in 2009.

Undoubtedly true. Cost is going up all over the place.

So, 11% of the students participate in the largest, non-mandatory community service event, yet-- when factoring in required service-- 80% participate in something?  Are we pretending 8,000ish kids volunteer on their own, yet skipped Hunger Clean-up?

I'm all for my school putting it's "best face forward" for recruitment purposes, but it's not cynical to look at the numbers while on a Marquette message board.

Students now are very involved in clubs and organizations that are very active in community service. There are countless clubs/organizations for any type of interest you have and in any area you want to make a difference.

Many students would prefer to be very active in a smaller community service based organization then simply taking part in one large event.

Your statement is cynical, and doesn't represent the activities and goals of the current generation of students. They tend to be very community service oriented.

I never did hunger clean up. I was never required to do service. I also voluntarily did service dozens of times while at MU. I can say the same about many of my friends.

I remember Midnight Run when we would head out at lunch time with 10 sandwiches in the van, and return 90 minutes later with six.  That didn't last long.  At all.

I met my wife working on Midnight Run.  Our first dog's "official" name was "Murphy's Midnight Run."
