A Good Example from Toledo to Follow in Cincinnati

Filed under: Education — TBlumer @ 6:05 am

The University of Toledo isn’t raising tuition next year (HT Right Angle Blog).

I wonder if University of Cincinnati President Nancy Zimpher noticed — or cares. UC thought that the state’s 2006-2007 tuition increase cap of roughly 5.5% was a hardship, and it gave rise to across-the-board budget “cuts.” Apparently several years of 9%-10% tuition increases caused UC to think that it could go on wasting money at an increasing rate forever.

  1. Why does tuition continue to rise at a rate greater than inflation? Because of the mistaken belief that it isn’t hurting the consumer. Whenever you have something that appears to be paid for by the government the price will skyrocket. Look at health care. Medical care is expensive partly because the real cost isn’t seen by the customer.

  2. #1, and it will continue as long as the subsidies continue to grow.
