[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - for those who say that excessive tuition costs are main problem - what measures do you think would be most effective and realistic for reducing financial burdens on students and their families ?[/quote] As PP already mentioned - cut the staff and admin at universities, to start.[/quote] +1. Do this in a smart way, though. Invest in fewer, higher quality staff so that there is institutional knowledge. My university churns staff like no tomorrow and constantly hires new, cheap staff (which takes time and money), who then move onto more lucrative positions after they've received this initial training because the university will not pay to retain them. And for admin, there is no reason why a provost or vice provost should be making more than $500K, especially when you have assistant professors making $60K. [/quote]
