Dear Deb,<br />
<br />
I have a simple observation. I graduated from a private, non-profit college in 1978. My last year's tuition was $987.00.<br />
You read that right, nine hundred eighty seven dollars for a full accredited semester of professional college credits.<br />
<br />
Tha same semester today would cost me $18,000.00, that's Eighteen thousand dollars. An increase of 200 times.<br />
Now teacher salaries did not increase by 200X, they were about $20,000 per year in 1978. They have increased since then but by not more…

Now teacher salaries did not increase by 200X, they were about $20,000 per year in 1978. They have increased since then but by not more than 5X. Utilities have not increased by more than 10X. And Non-Profit Colleges do not pay property or income taxes.<br />
Now, since I have had 3 children in College recently, I can attest that this tuition is quite the norm across all non state colleges. State Colleges are much cheaper, they are only $10,000.00 per semester.<br />
<br />
So, what is this gripe about? Non-profit vs. for profit....neither of them are CHEAP!<br />
I just do not understand what this dilemma is all about.<br />
