Why Tuition Costs Are Rising So Quickly

Robert Martin

Challenge, 2002, vol. 45, issue 4, pages 88-108

Abstract: In this original analysis, the author examines why tuition for both private and public education has risen so much faster than inflation or family incomes. As one indication if the extent of the problem, students loans have doubled in recent years. One reason is reduced public subsidies for higher education. But another, he argues, is the increasing time given to professors for scholarship and other activities.
