Excessive Profits? College education has been increasing dramatically year over year, nobody complains?
My tuition went up 20% from a year and a half ago, and nobody complains about that? Did the quality of education or campus improve?
Governments answer (liberals anyway): make college more affordable by giving out grants? At the same time they are trying to get oil companies to hand over their profits! Why not a grant for gas?
Libs really know how to protect their own. Education is an industry that they can charge or increase whatever they want and get away with it, because big Libs like Obama come from Academia, and love to protect them because they keep churning out more libs.
The professors aren't getting paid? Administration does not get paid? You think that nobody is cashing in on the tuition increase? Where is my 20% going?
Also, big libs on college campuses came up with this whole "be green" crap, why don't they have to conserve? Why is it that only everyone else except for them have to conserve?
I go to UIC in Chicago. I am in a graduate program. I even live in state and still increased that much. Is that not excessive? Universities are HARDLY trying to maintain an "economic balance".
Also, colleges certainly can't teach economics since nobody understands why gas prices are so high. Gas companies do not set the prices for oil, nobody seems to know that. They just blindly blame oil companies, and put restrictions on our own oil production in this country.

I can't imagine where you are in school that your tuition went up that much. The average seems to be about 7%. A very few schools have high endowments, which are very much under scrutiny - why do you think several are now offering grants, instead of loans, to low-income students? Governments are not giving grants to the schools - they are giving them to the students to get an education. If they were to do the equivalent in the oil industry, they would give it to drivers so that we could afford the gas! There is a big difference between an industry that is struggling to maintain its economic balance and one which records incredible record profits year after year, while tripling prices (and more) to the consumers!

Colleges are typically not for profits. With increased oil prices how else do people pay for heating and cooling, salaries, etc?
