The account request procedure on DeepThought asks the applicant several questions (What is your name?, etc.) For its amusement value, it was suggested to me that I throw in the swallow question from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The situation is similar at private institutions. The average tuition prices increased by 3.8 percent between 2012-13 and 2013-14, to $30,090. But the average net price also increased, from $11,930 in 2012-13 to $12,460 in 2013-14.Some parents are able to provide their children with the financial resources necessary to pay tuition and fees ...hile the published tuition and fees at public and private colleges still increased in 2013, the growth was smaller than it has been in past years. At public, four-year colleges, for example, published tuition and fees increased by 2.9 percent â the smallest one-year increase since the mid-1970s.
There are two rather different points of view used to account for rising tuition in public higher education. One is the market power model, presumably accepted by the president. It asserts that subsidies and grants to students increase demand, which gives colleges more ability to raise tuition. working rule of thumb for this case is that listed tuition will rise by 50 cents and net tuition will drop by 50 cents for every dollar increase in the subsidy. Public universities, while possessing some pricing discretion, are not monopolies.
