    I think part of it may have to do with all the new technology. Institutions are feeling pressure to be on the cutting edge as far as computer labs, libraries and student networks go, not to mention projectors and smartboards.

So sad that in 10 years all the new stuff they buy will be outdated.

The floor is going to drop out from under higher education at some point in the not-too-distant future. It's just not worth the cost, especially when the quality of the education is falling. I would not take out a sizeable loan for a college education right now. It's simply not worth it.
