<p>The historical data is full of interesting numbers. I encourage people to browse, and thank Dean J and others for making them available. Perhaps the scariest are the growth in OOS tuition and fees. As one example, this year is 15 times the cost 30 years ago. The table is full of double-digit and nearly double-digit increases, way above inflation, as we all know. If I didn’t have my last kid in school, I’d wonder more about when this will collapse. </p>
<p>After having our student home for five weeks between semesters, I can’t say I’m thrilled with the cost per day of actual school. I hope the new president doesn’t consider squeezing a day or two out to save $, as the school year is already so short on days of instruction.</p>
