> Anecdotally, after the recession my in state tuition doubled because of less funding from the state No, your state tuition doubled because of rampant spending increases underwitten by a limiless supply of student loans. Your state may have reduced funding somewhat, but that's not the primary cause of higher tuition. Ask your state school system what it's employee:professor:student ratio is now vs 10 years ago. How many new buildings have been built in the past 10 years? And how do the construction costs compare to those built 20 years ago?
