I suggest from now on no college way over spend to hear a guest lecture which is essentially noise from someone that's opinion is worthless. If the 40 % rise was all going into raises to professors why is there any PhD left at my work place? I mean why would all us industry people not be beating each others heads in to get into the rich world of wealth that is a college professor? Also why does she(?) think professors have any say on the tuition rate at their school? It's like blaming the guy that pumps your gas for the price of gas. Only there is no guy that pumps your gas anymore.
Every sentient, literate adult knows that the current spike in gas prices is 90 percent due to forces completely beyond the control of Congress, the White House or even "Big Oil" itself. The laws of supply and demand determine gas prices the same way those laws determine the price of eggs, acid-washed blue jeans and Kanye West downloads. CNN reports that college tuition has risen an astonishing 40 percent since 2000. But the proposed solutions to the exact same problem -- high prices for gasoline and tuition, respectively -- were diametrically opposed...but somehow, no one ever suggested that the solution to the high price of college -- far outpacing inflation -- was to pay professors less... How about investigating the "shameful display of greed" by college professors?... Ann Coulter
