Parents Demand Financial Transparency at Radford

Parents at Radford College are demanding a leadership overhaul after years of financial deficits and steep tuition hikes, accusing the school of misleading families by funding “vanity projects” like a new sports pavilion and floodlights instead of addressing real financial needs. With audited deficits exceeding half a million dollars, some parents fear retaliation for speaking out, but one boldly claims the crisis is self-inflicted. The college defends its actions, saying capital projects are funded by donations and necessary for sustainability, while hinting next year’s fee increase will be less than this year’s 20%. Financially savvy parents argue the deficit stems from depreciation and debt, not poor operations — and are pushing the Anglican Diocese to intervene.
