Sadly, things have not changed in the world of education but I'm hopeful that the broader community has begin to see the inflation embedded in quantitave easing and stimuli. I think th elast election was really about that and nothing else. As I prepare to stroke a $30,000 semester tuition and board check to NYU I came across this blog again.

Holding capital and faculty size and relative faculty salaries constant, the cost has probably dropped dramatically in the 109 year history. Remember, when colleges began in the U.S. in the 17th and 18th centuries they were basically divinity schools with a narrow curriculum and narrower minds.
