This article in the WSJ points in a direction too many conservatives aren't happy to admit: tuition cost increases are linked to the rise of the for-profit education industry.
What I don't understand is why this should be shocking to anyone. We already know that pro-profit grads are burdened with higher average debt and are often in jobs (and situations) insufficient to pay back what they've borrowed -- borrowed after persuasive and aggressive promises by the schools that prove illusory. I've longed believed that higher education cost increases have little to do with faculty salaries or even extravagant building programs of new dorms or student centers.
