I think this will boil down to:
a) What did the college promise?
b) Did the college deliver it?
Since there's unlikely a formal contract involved, they'll have to make a case with the public marketing and value prop which includes peers, access to professors, dorm life, state of the art labs, extracurriculars, a beautiful campus, alumni network, job fairs, etc.
Most of these colleges have spent years devaluing the content itself by putting it online for free and now that's one of the few things they're still offering.. for the small price of $X0,000/year.

- jjeaff 6y agoWhile I agree tuition is too high, people have gone a little crazy with using the most expensive outliers as examples. Average tuition for state schools in 2018 was around $9,000 and I don't think that includes financial aid and scholarships. And to complain about the coat of private schools is a bit like browsing around in a BMW dealership and complaining about how everything is too expensive. Not to mention that if you are low income, there are lots of very nearly free options.
