College is a business, much like health care is a business.
They are being run as for PROFIT industries not societal necessities.
We have private companies profit off basic health, necessary education, required energy and our military security.
Tenure and the dopey professors aren't driving up costs. Costs and price have been completely divorced from one another.
I really hope you are getting what's going on.

Private schools like Harvard aren't the issue. They are private afterall and don't have many students. Harvard normally has around 2000 students enrolled. The school I went to, UW-Madison has 45,000 students with a huge annual payroll. People that live here all know that the UW could lose 20% of the staff and do a better job educating for less money.
Everyone who works for it should be able to get a secondary education. The way costs are rising here it's making it more and more difficult for people from WI. to even get accepted at Madison. I don't have numbers, but I see the numbers of people from outside the US increasing every year.
