It is my experience that the tuition that is paid is only about 55% of the cost of actually running the college. The taxpayers or the alumni fund and grants and inheritances pay for the rest.

The colleges should pick up the whole tab. They're the idiots "educating" the teachers... and that's where the problem starts.
