College tuition has been rising much faster than inflation for probably 20 years now. That together with your example of Canada shows that it's still quite possible to offer a good education at a lower price.
If you want to help the poorer schools out, it's probably better to just give them money. It seems probable to me that the political desire to give every student a full loan to any college (for equality!) is one of two or three primary causes of tuition (and university spending and such) going crazy.
- icebraining 12y agoCollege tuition has been rising much faster than inflation for probably 20 years now. Actually, not really. The average price students actually pay has only increased $320 in the last 12 years (from $12650 to $12970). That probably doesn't even cover inflation. What has been rising much faster is the sticker price, but few students actually pay that. http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/05/11/152499671/figuring-out-the-real-price-of-college http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/05/11/152499671/figuring... http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/05/22/153316565/the-price-of-college-tuition-in-1-graphic http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/05/22/153316565/the-pric...
