One of my colleagues went to University of Texas at Austin during early 80s.

He said they had a strike because the university increased tuition per hour by 50% or more.>>

It went up fall semester of 1985, from $4 a credit hour to $12 a credit hour. We were married and it was my husband’s last semester. My most expensive semester was something like $225, which included two labs and all tuition and fees. My rent was $107 a month. I won a $500 scholarship senior year that covered all tuition, fees, books and I got a small refund in the spring.
