However, as a result of the shift of their budget costs to fresh USD, the current financial plan is no longer sufficient to sustain LAU.<br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/63392.png\"><br \/>  <br \/>  The university has made the decision to adopt a fresh dollar budget that will be effective starting Fall 2022. They also assured their students that the Financial Aid budget will be increased to support students in need. <br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/63392-1.png\"><br \/>  <br \/>  Tuition fees at LAU range from $8,300 to $10,800 depending on the major, which is an unimaginable amount that is unrealistic for the majority of students, especially those depending on Financial Aid and grants.<br \/>  <br \/>  As other universities are expected to follow suit, education is gradually becoming more intangible for many.    <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure
