[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you wondering why tuition has gone up so much--it's not just climbing walls and administrative creep (although that doesn't hurt.  Here are some of the things schools must now provide that cost a lot of money:
1)  Mental health services
2) ADA and accommodation services (extra test time et al)
3) FERPA/HIIPA administrators
4)DEI deans, programs, counselors, et al
5) Improved housing and dining

I'm not saying that these changes are bad--it's great that kids with mental health issues, disabilities, needing accommodations can now go to school, and DEI is important.  But if you think about how it was when the boomers went to school -- some large lectures and bare bones housing, no counseling at all -- and what it is like today at schools, you see why it costs so much more.[/quote]

“Rich kids are more expensive to educate because they’re more likely to be disabled and mentally ill” is not a take I expected to encounter on DCUM, but here we are. [/quote]

Where did you get that?[/quote]
