These stats are useful as general guides and indicators but not gospel truth or to put it better, the whole truth, nothing but the truth. The attempt was helpful and appreciated, never the less.
I just wish there was a rational explanation for the extreme increase in tuition the last 10 years or so. State schools are subsidized by taxpayers so the "increase" is spread to everyone paying income, sales and real estate taxes in your state, but the REAL cost has also skyrocketed at state schools too.
There is a lot of bloated faculty and programs as well....topics that are, shall we say, a little soft on relevance and reality. We all have our own pet peeves on this matter and what strikes us useless waste. I am not hard core on this, giving leeway to a number of departments...but still yet, its hard to justify a lot of what is passed off as a "college education".
Its nice to see Fordham in the middle of the pack on a number of these statistical analysis. wink.
