"Here are the enrollment stats: http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2012/tables/12s0278.pdf";
Interesting data Sam. Between 1980 and 2009, enrollment rose 68%. During the same time, the number of institutions rose 39%, indicating a potential for a shortage of availability for slots to get a degree. However, euring this period, the number of instructors rose 110%. The number of full time staff fell from over 60% to 51% indicating a savings in cost yet the ability to compensate for the influx of students without increasing the number of institutions even more. That is, the existing institutes could handle the influx by filling empty classrooms during the day, night, and weekends. Also, there is the advent of internet degrees which should be lower in cost since fewer facilites are needed. So, cost should have risen, but there is no way it should have risen 750%. Congress should investigate the industrial educational complex for monopolistic practices. It seems like the educational institutions have been spending wildly and do not want to cut those expenses. They want to pass on the cost to the students, who have to get loans, and then who become indentured servants to the corporate system.
