- JadeNB 6y agoTuition costs are ridiculously inflated, and I'd love to see them come down, but "the same thing used to be cheaper" is an argument that doesn't work in any other field. I'd rather see a discussion of the inflation-adjusted rate of increase, or perhaps some other appropriately adjusted metric; tuition numbers would still look terrible, so there's no need to weaken one's argument this way.
- travisoneill1 6y agoThat is inflation adjusted. Note "with all figures adjusted to reflect 2017 dollars"
- JadeNB 6y agoYes, you're quite right. I don't know how I missed that. Thanks!
