You
have no idea what you're talking about, the rising tuition is a result
of increased spending on the schools parts. They've increased spending
on administrators, student support services, and they need to make up
for reductions in government subsidies.
"The main reason tuition
has been rising faster than college costs is that colleges had to make
up for reductions in the per-student subsidy state taxpayers sent
colleges. In 2006, the last year for which Wellman had data, state
taxpayers sent $7,078 per student to the big public research
universities. That's $1,270 less (after accounting for inflation) than
they sent in 2002."
"Increases in spending were driven mostly by
higher administration, maintenance, and student services costs. Public
universities spent almost $4,000 per student per year on administration,
support, and maintenance in 2006, up more than 13 percent, in real
terms over 1995. And they spent another $1,200 a year on services such
as counseling, which was up 23 percent. Meanwhile, they spent about
$8,700 a year on classroom instruction for each student, up about 9
percent."

The main reason tuition has been increasing is increased spending by the school and decreased funding from the states. |
