[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Because: 1. [b]College sticker prices are used to artificially convey false notions of relative value, and[/b] 2. The existence of third party subsidies allows the colleges to benefit from the inflated prices. The pricing behavior is essentially identical to that of prescription drugs, which as we all known, no one has a problem bitching about. This is why I do not donate to educational institutions. Free money for large passive investment pools to facilitate opaque and inflated pricing makes zero sense. [/quote] Exactly. If state schools have to raise tuition due to state budget cuts, there's no way a private is going to be seen with a comparable tuition because they need to communicate value, so they raise it. Harvard and other schools with massive endowments are a case in point. They don't need to charge anyone tuition, but they've raised their tuition in concert with the rest of the country's schools.[/quote]
