- pkaye 8y agoI'm not sure of how universities are funded in other countries. If for example the government says they will provide a fixed amount per student (yearly adjusted for inflation, etc) that might be a good example of price control. Another thing is many university administrative staff are used to paying themselves outrageous salaries and pensions and they just feeds into the rising costs.
- kgwgk 8y agoThe universities are not really independent from the government: the state runs the university, its faculty and employees are civil servants, etc. Edit: I was thinking about private universities in the US, it’s true that public universities are already controlled by the same govermnents who pays most of their costs.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoThe same can be said here in the US.
