So much for the "responsible stewardship" of the not for profit sector

College Presidents triple prices for functionally the same product and still claim that they deliver good or excellent value.  The only guarantor of good value is a free, unsubsidized market between private for profit businesses.  As an added plus Colleges would also pay taxes on the grotesque and unseemly wealth they have accumulated.

And they call them Public 'servants'.  Serving themselves, perhaps.


HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: The Value Gap: Americans Increasingly Question The Cost Of Going To College. “The annual price tag for a college credential has risen about three times as fast as inflation, and there is no sign that it’s slowing down. In the last decade alone, tuition rates at public colleges and universities, which enroll about 80 percent of American students, rose by an average of 5.6 percentage points above inflation every year. . . . College presidents seem tone-deaf to those concerns. In a companion survey conducted with The Chronicle, three-fourths of college leaders said the system was providing a good or excellent value.”
