[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they recognize they are creating a have/have nots, upstairs/downstairs environment?  Do they recognize they are eliminating the largest portion of the socio-economic population?  Do they just not care?  Filling their pockets with total disregard for a balanced and natural environment? What a warped view of the world they are creating for those boys - so sad![/quote]

First, I'm not sure it's the tuition increases that are creating a have/have not environment any more than already exists from the existence of private v. public schools.

In my experience they care very much, and as others have pointed out in detail, they're not filling their pockets, they're just running up against hard financial realities and difficult choices.  They're choosing to raise tuition rather than make cuts to the program.  I know trustees who are very concerned about the fact they're on a path to pricing many more families out of the schools, but there's no easy solution.  The best path would really be one that brought benefits costs under control such that they don't continue to rise faster than inflation and drive everything up, but we as a country don't seems likely to achieve that any time soon.

It's not all about benefit costs.  Admin team costs (whether more people or more pay is not clear) and facilities have been a substantial part of the increase.  Look at the study done by the team from Vanderbilt.[/quote]
