Inflation hitting college Cost of Attendance?

I have seen articles that indicate that many colleges are trying to minimize increases. However, there will be many that do not. Overall, I believe that the majority of colleges understand the need to keep costs from spiraling, but whether or not they can succeed in convincing their boards that it’s necessary (and identify alternative revenue streams) is another story.

It’s important, by the way, to separate cost of tuition/fees from cost of attendance. With inflation, the other components will rise even if tuition rises more slowly or is capped.
