You know what they say about statistics, don't you? So be wary of any statistical analysis that "proves a point."
The fact remains that colleges are bastions of inefficiency: tenure is a system that protects deadwood teachers; professors go on wasteful trips to "present white papers" or "give speeches" or "attend conferences" or whatever that cost tens of thousands of dollars and that money comes out of the "tuition money" we all pay.
The SHARP increase in tuition the last 10 years or so is almost inexplicable as salaries have not gone up, and endowments have balloooned. They are making a college education elitist by cost for the vast majority of middle class americans (except of course to the very poor who will get a full ride). The rich dont care because for them its mostly about status anyway.
This will have an enormous negative impact upon our social and economic fabric.
