That's not the only reason that costs are increasing and to imply that it is, is dishonest.

- dredmorbius 13y agoCurious, but what other reasons do you see?
- dlp211 13y agoI go to a research university so there are 4 main sources of funding in no particular order: 1) State funding (public tax dollars) 2) Student tuition 3) Research Grants 4) Alumni donations State funding is down, research grants are down, and alumni donations are down. The autonomous costs of a university don't decline, so that loss in revenue needs to be made up elsewhere, thus it comes from student tuition.
- dredmorbius 13y agoThat sounds vaguely in line with the dynamic I'm recalling now with public university funding.
