And California has more admins than professors
Because Liberals want to start class warfare.
To keep the big fat union PIG pension funds alive? I don’t need to read the article.
Why college tuition keeps rising (Beyond the rate of inflation) ........ because the Liberal, Commie, Indoctrinator overlords are getting while the getting is good before the whole house of cards come crashing down ?
Because reducing expenses is not in the higher education lexicon - that’s why. Simple as that.
As one person pointed out, everything in the world has changed, except how education is delivered. You could transport a college professor out of the classroom in the 1850’s and put him into a modern classroom and he could carry on teaching without much trouble.
I think this is about to change big-time. There is enough information on the internet that a person can easily educate themselves 70% of almost any college or tech degree and the other 30% they would then need classroom instruction.
In the near future, it’s possible to also have sophisticated simulations that can basically replace a teacher entirely.
Why do colleges raise tuition faster than the rate of inflation?
That’s like asking “Why do rock stars sleep with porn stars?” or “Why do professional athletes date supermodels?”
Because they can.
Lord I hope tuition keeps rising beyond inflation rates. That means the death of higher education as we know it and that is a good thing. It means students seeking options that give more bang for the buck and overpayed tenured liberals losing their audiences.
Same reason why the housing prices sky-rocketed back when.
EVERYONE should be able to have a home/college-education.
The government will provide easy/cheap loans so everyone can have a home/college-education.
And everyone is off and getting those cheap loans to get a home/education, thus increasing the demand.
Of course this is an artificial demand. And when those cheap and easy loans finally needed to be paid for those houses, the housing market tanked. Coming soon to the education business. Although it will still be awhile before the prices come back down. I’m guessing probably the year after my last kid graduates :(
It’s no accident that the two fastest inflating sectors, healthcare and education, are the two sectors the government pumps massive amounts of money into.
This woman is essentially saying that tuition’s rise because the taxpayers won’t cover whatever the the college wants to spend. No, tuition rises because the colleges don’t want to control what they spend.
They have to pay for all those condos they built for students
I think the truth is that every time the government gives families another $2,000 tax break for tuition, tuitions go up $2,000. Big Education is Big Business, and they don’t seem to me to be hurting.
easy.
Because the government keeps increasing how much it subsidizes it.
end all student aid and the price of college would drop like a rock. It’s called the free market!
and as usual government IS the problem and not the solution to it.
Duh. Do we really need to answer this, or can I get back to why what goes up must come down?
I actually took the time to send the guy a response. It said something to this effect: "I was informed by the financial aid office in [XXX] University that I do not qualify for any of those programs, so I've spent the last six years paying my own way through school. I have at least another year and a half to go. Rest assured that I will be voting for your opponent, since I really hope he cuts every penny of that sh!t."
Why do college tuition keeps rising because it’s giant organized crime syndicate.
The #1 problem of the government funded colleges and universities is that they have way too many administrators and non-teaching positions.
The simple solution would be to fire the admin and non-teaching positions....but those positions are protected by politicians in BOTH the GOP and DNC.....for themselves when they leave politics...or for their friends
That is where your ballooning college costs are occurring.
“Why college tuition keeps rising (Beyond the rate of inflation)”
Because of free Federal student loan money, and thus, just like the entire Federal Bloc, no accountability to anyone or anything.
