Tuition Hikes Since 1970 Have Averaged Slightly More than Inflation, Study Finds.
Evangelauf, Jean
Chronicle of Higher Education, v33 n25 p1,30-31 Mar 4 1987
College tuition fees have risen an average annual rate of 1% above that of inflation over a 16-year period--from 1970-86. The debate over why college costs are skyrocketing is discussed, and disagreement with Education Secretary William J. Bennett's criticisms of rising tuition are described. (MLW)
