Something doesn't add up - ISU is not an expensive school, and it appears that Jason Yoder's family lived nearby. According to news reports, he attended ISU for both graduate and undergraduate degrees, getting his MA in Chemistry in 2006. I found the tuition rates from 2000, when undergrad tuition was $4,336 a semester for 9 or more credits. He would have been paying between 8000-9000 a year for undergraduate tuition in the late 90's or early 00's.

It just does not add to $100,000, unless he spent over 10 years getting his degrees. I might add that a candidate with a masters degree in chem could walk into a decent paying teaching job somewhere in Illinois, although not necessarily in the Bloomington-Normal area. To me, it appears that other factors played the major role in his death.
