The question is where does all of the inflation come from wrt colleges? Is it driven mainly by the availability of federal/state funds for tuition or what?

I dont' see how the costs can go up 6.3% at a place where little investment in expensive technology occurs. The professors ARE the investment are they not?

It might be something like you see at an airline/pharmeceuticals. List price being outrageous because so many people are subsidized by the high payers. I just don't know but it doesn't really make sense to me.
