Hmmm.....Vito, how's that?

Here in Texas, after the state deregulated tuition, we have had huge tuition increases, but our tuition is still below that of what they consider "peer institutions".

At UT, the average per semester cost of education, counting tuition and fees, rose 57%, from $2,721 in 2003 to $4,266 in 2008.

Here's the trend since deregulation:

Fall 2004 Fall 2005 Fall 2006 Fall 2007 Fall 2008 Fall 2009
$3,500 $3,643 $4,012 $4,065 $4,254 $4,468

My son's tuition and fees for spring 2010 are $4,950 (business major).

You add in the high cost of living in Austin, and it's costing me $25000 (not counting fraternity dues ) for him to attend yearly, and I still feel I'm getting a bargain. Thank heavens he didn't choose Notre Dame .

It sounds to me like California is just coming up to standards nationwide. I believe Florida is being faced with the same dilemna, either decrease the standards or increase the tuition.

Florida's charts:

(boy, UF is still a bargain for instate kids!!)

ITT: We can tell who goes to school in California.

Yeah and you know they all have different daddies...I swear if poor black women stop giving their kids names that that start with La and end with Sha they can get out of the projects and manage a McDonalds or be a bus driver.

Look at Florida Evans!

Tuition is $2,013.00

Bringing the tuition to $2300-2400 is NOT 100%. These students are complaining about an extra $300-400 dollars.

ETA: It even says on the website that shows tuition, that the first hike in tuition prices was 10% for the Fall 2009 school year. Really? Protests over a 10% hike?

Ok so I stand corrected. 10% increase is nothing.

"Along with indignation over budget cuts, a blog listing the protesters’ demands included forgiveness of all student loans and ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. With demands far beyond the purview of school administrators, negotiations with the students was nearly impossible, Ms. Griffin said."

Seriously? Shut up kids.

And for the record, colleges increase tuition at about an average of 6% every year, so with the way things are its really not much higher than the normal tuition increase from year to year.
