Big Goverment demands price fixing for medical services. Let’s try the same with academia.
$8billion dollar endowments and all that yet the tax payers have to fund it in “public education” and bad loan bailouts (as well as “instate” tuition for foreign born non-citizens).
It takes the tuition of about six students to pay for one year of Liz Warren’s 1%er salary. There are many “Liz Warrens” in academia, so naturally costs must rise.
I suspect that profit has a bit to do with it as well.
Funny ... it’s free for illegals.
I agree.
I wish some private investors would start a private college to compete with these other “universities”.
I can’t wait for the college bubble to burst.
if they didn’t have to pay for professors like Liz, who would?
College does not offer that much, thanks to the internet.
My daughter qualifies for a full tuition scholarshipto University of Alabama. We live in California, but she wants to go to college in the south.
Her college costs would be under 6k a yeaar compared to over 30k a year at the UCs.
We think she’ll get into one of the iIvys, but they rarely offer scholarships.
I can’t wait to gon on a visit to Alabama!
Now that kids can be covered under their parents' plans until they are 26, many are opting out of the college health plans. This is making the college health plans more expensive for the teachers and admins.
No worries though. The colleges are requiring all students to have sufficient health insurance protection. In many cases their parents' health insurance (surprise, surprise) is not deemed worthy and so the student must pay as much as $2000 or more per year to enroll in the college's plan.
College administrators are pure hypocritical scum.
Any and all subsidies and free money provided by government are "successful." why wouldn't they be?
I’ve convinced my daughter to live at home when she goes - it cuts the bill pretty much in half and since she wants to be a physician she’ll have a minimum of 7 years to save. Of course I also managed to convince her to take hunker down and take over a dozen AP courses in HS so I’m hoping she can cut a year off through that also.
Home schooling will evolve into home colleging from the necessity of no options.
I tell my 13 going on 14 year old he better keep pitching shutouts and hitting home runs, if he wants to go to a good university.
The private individual’s dollar is competing against unfettered access to the public treasury.
You know who’s going to win in that equation.
Sky’s the limit!
Until the sky falls, that is...
I hate to tell you, but if you’re being literal, most colleges have dropped baseball due to Title IX
Big Education is a primary funding component of Democrats.
Don’t expect it to “burst” anytime soon.
How could the parents’ Obamacare mandated coverage level possibly be deficient?
“...and take over a dozen AP courses in HS so Im hoping she can cut a year off through that also.”
There is that option. It’s not a bad one. Another is to hold off for a year or so on entering a 4-year institution and instead taking care of your pre-reqs at a community college.
The credits are cheaper, many of the professors are just as good and these types of credits (math, English, etc) almost alway will transfer when applying to admission to a four year school.
