- thescriptkiddie 11y agoThey are, because their state funding is increasing at a lower rate than inflation, and because they have to pay for new buildings and equipment to support growing student populations. And contrary to right-wing pundits, growing student populations are not a problem, they are the stated goal of public universities. You can't just raise tuition to discourage people from applying because the entire point is to get as many applicants as possible.
