Why aren't college students more angry at the universities for high tuition?
Back in 1980 it cost under $1000 per year on the average, now on the average it costs $13,000. Why are students more mad at the government for not paying their way than they are at the schools that charge these tuition costs? Deans and presidents at American colleges and universities are making millions of dollars a year, yet students say nothing. Why?

They do it because they can. Just like in the housing bubble, the government is shielding the education system from market forces, causing a bubble that's going to pop eventually.
Why aren't students upset? By all accounts we should be, but for the most part the government, our parents, scholarships, etc pay for our tuition so we aren't as invested in it.

My honest opinion is.
Because that would be bad for government, we are in a crisis and the last thing they would due is bail us out (cause the banks got that on purpose ) but they take from us and teenagers are so systemically being dumbed down in public school and media are to stupid to say something...
Quite smart huh?

There are some OWS protest in colleges for that reason. The problem comes from the liberals. They raid the school funds for special projects. IN my time, I fought against liberals student leaders because they increase tuition for environmental reasons or build a new University center.

Because we'd rather get drunk, high, and listen to that awful rap music. Not many students I know even give a sh1t about high tuition, it's just "what party are you going to on Friday night?" or "you wanna get high and play call of duty?"

I'm a little irritated, but I knew what I was getting into. Times change, no point in living in the past. I don't like government hand outs either, even for my education, it is not the government's job to provide a college education. I figure that I will end up with $70k in student loans, get a decent job as an aerospace engineer and pay it off in a few years. I would like to see your evidence that a dean is making millions, I find that hard to believe.

We are, but what can we do? Universities don't care what we want; they just want to make money.

Because liberal students are taking out loans that they know good and well they wont repay. Liberals corrupt society cradle to the grave
