In his op-ed, Alexander neglects to address a major topic in college affordability discussions: ballooning tuition costs. College tuition has seen massive tuition increases in the past 30 years, growing disproportionately to other consumer goods.
The below chart using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the growth in the price of a college education compared to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all consumers.
The average annual increase in college tuition from 1980-2014 grew by nearly 260% compared to the nearly 120% increase in all consumer items.
In 1980, the average cost of tuition, room and board, and fees at a four-year post-secondary institution was $9,438, according to the Department of Education. That number has since climbed to $23,872.
I would expect drastic inflation, which is why I said I was being cute. Reread your citation and realized my numbers were off. I read the prices adjusted for inflation as today’s prices. I was wrong. Still not as high as I would expect, and id be shocked if anyone is giving vassar 60k. My daughter would have paid 22k at vassar. I have the paperwork in front of me.Quote:

I’d be happy to just brag(doesn’t need to be humble)about my daughter, but she’s really the only firsthand experience that I have. I was an athlete with kid(s), they found all the money I needed when I went.Quote:

My quip aside, I actually do agree that prices are out of control. So yes, lets intervene and bring things back into order.Quote:

The path forward is pretty clear and it involves government regulation/negotiation. If we make it free for the deserving, we've already artificially influenced the price and we won't have to worry about that having as we've already likely reached a much more inelastic point on the curve.
A uneducated population isn't a solution. And neither is what is currently going on. So what do you propose?
So, who doesn’t?Quote:
