How did they do it before? The fees widely outpace inflation. It’d be nice to see state schools be affordable to kids on a part time job —which used to be the case. That’s not been the case for a few decades.

That’s the thing the puzzles me. Some of these universities’ annual tuition amounts to a healthy 1 year’s salary. How did they operate when this wasn’t the case?

They didn't build luxury spa resorts on campus to impress students and US News & World Report, in a mad race for govt guaranteed loan funds.

Universities used to look like high schools, and still do in many parts of Europe (and at community colleges).
