re: #215 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

Why has the cost of college skyrocketed?

I propose this is why: because as a society we have artificially propped up demand.

And this has led so many schools to believe they can implement this or that (such as rapidly multiplying deanships) without constraint.

When I graduated from UT Dallas in 2005, the president told that the state paid $12 for every dollar paid by students when he graduated in the late 70s. By my time is was down to something like less than 20c.
