   There's already a separate administration fee paid by me to Blackbaud, and of course the school obviously pays Blackbaud for the service they're providing.
   I asked the school about the new fee and they said they were not informed about it and cannot waive it.
   Blackbaud has decided they're going to start charging for a convenience feature that used to be free, a feature whose cost to them has not increased.
   This is classic enshittification.

     In either #enshittification news… Recently filling out the tuition contract for my son for 12th grade, I discovered that #Blackbaud is now imposing a fee for direct debit payments. There was previously no fee.
     There's no fee for mailing a paper check, which you can do for free through most banks nowadays.
     It costs Blackbaud far more to process a paper check than a direct debit.
