The New York Times Opinion section recently featured an article on the (astronomically) rising costs of college tuition. Entitled, "The Real Reason College Tuition Costs So Much," you'll discover that cuts to public funding for higher education are NOT to blame. One culprit cited in the article: "constant expansion of university administration. According to the Department of Education data, administrative positions at colleges and universities grew by 60 percent between 1993 and 2009, which Bloomberg reported was 10 times the rate of growth of tenured faculty positions."

It's an interesting read and I hope you enjoy.
