[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The high cost of tuition is driven by the availability of federal loans to fund it. The Department of Education could put a brake on the rising costs by imposing rules on schools for eligibility, including limiting the price tag, for tuition or for other expenses. [/quote] That's partly true, but industries/services with large staffing costs tend to see overall costs rise faster than inflation. When you combine that with technology costs, and the decreasing share of higher-ed funding coming from the state/federal governments (particularly when you exclude loans), and you've got a real problem on your hands. Private college costs are a funny thing. They give out so many scholarships and other financial aid packages that their tuition numbers don't really mean anything.[/quote]
