> I suspect that part of the political push to eliminate the humanities, especially from off-campus sources, is connected to the myth that the price of college has skyrocketed. In fact, the real price of college attendance has been falling modestly in recent years. Consequently, the share of undergraduates taking out student loans and the loan values are also down slightly. Disingenuous nonsense. Price going up 1000% and then down 10% doesn't make it not "skyrocket". Worthless article.
