When I started college in the fall of 1980 at a small Junior College, my tuition for an entire semester was $500. Adjusting that for inflation, tuition in 2010 should be $1,200. Which I find to be a reasonable amount. Then I looked at my old Alma Mater’s web sit to see that tuition for a semester is now $4,326 or 3.5 times the rate of inflation. This is the lowest tuition of any public school in Indiana. Well at least I know the kiddies are getting a better education than I did.

Only question I have: Where is all that extra money going? Do college professors all driver Porches?
