Putting a Limit on Tuition Increases

By JACK KADDEN

Everyone complains about the steep and seemingly unending rise in tuition. Now, one college is responding — in a modest way.

As the article points out, “one percentage point above inflation might not seem like much to celebrate,” but it could be a first step toward reducing the rate of increase, which often exceeds the inflation rate by several percentage points. Last year, the article said, the average increase for private four-year colleges was 4.4 percent, while there was no inflation at all.
