[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Other developed countries treat college like a public good and provide support for universities so they are not tuition dependent. In the US, states have been steadily withdrawing support from schools and Feds focus on giving their support to students (Pell grants, subsidized loans) rather than to schools. BUt as a whole, the US higher ed system has long been a leader in the world and drives a lot of scientific, technological and cultural innovation in addition to providing education. Businesses should also be subsidizing universities because a lot of them build on the innovations they share freely.[/quote] This! These are policy choices. After the 2008 recession / crash state governments sharply cut funding for public universities. They in turn, dramatically increased tuition and fees. The privates were always pricey, but there are fewer high quality, low-cost alternatives. [/quote]
