This is false. The cost of tuition at public universities has grown faster over the last 20 years than at private universities, for both in-state and out-of-state students.
The average tuition and fees at private National Universities have jumped 144%.
Out-of-state tuition and fees at public National Universities have risen 171%.
In-state tuition and fees at public National Universities have grown the most, increasing 211%.
