Reply #41: State college tuition has run way ahead of inflation

[Lydia Leftcoast]

and private college tuition even more so.

When I was a freshman in 1968, a commuting student could attend the University of Minnesota for $375 a year, or 300 times the minimum wage. A student could earn that and not need scholarships or loans.

If that were still true, it would cost $1875 a year to attend the "U." Instead, it costs nearly about 6 times that much.

Thank stingy legislators and administrative bloat.
