EDIT: Wow, the largest ever tuition increase happened this year, a 3.4% average increase.

Here's the kicker:
>Part-time faculty and teaching assistants now account for half of instructional staffs at colleges and universities, up from one-third in 1987, the figures show.
>During the same period, the number of administrators and professional staff has more than doubled. That’s a rate of increase more than twice as fast as the growth in the number of students.
My sympathies are with the American students who dont get in to the school they are most qualified for because there's always a foreign student who can pay full fare. Administrators doing this are in the wrong.
