A Better Way to Compete on Price

About the Presenter

Mark Salisbury, TuitionFit

Mark Salisbury spent 25 years at large and small higher education institutions in a wide variety of roles—from athletics and admissions to academic administration and institutional research. He earned a PhD in higher education at the University of Iowa, has published numerous research articles in a variety of academic journals, and has provided commentaries and op-eds for the Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, NPR, and WNYC.

In 2018, Mark co-founded TuitionFit, a crowdsourcing platform that creates college price transparency by empowering students and families to share the financial aid awards they receive and create a “Kelley Blue Book” of college prices.

When he isn’t championing a better pricing model for colleges and universities or diving deep into higher ed data, he is swimming in the dark waters of improv comedy and other thoroughly non-quantifiable creative pursuits.
