I highly doubt it got 600% more complex or whatever the percent increase in cost is.Don't disagree.
Caveat - I'm guessing the quality of education is higher and education more complex (i.e., security) than it was in '95. I don't have the list of inputs and outputs to substantiate any of that...but it wouldn't surprise me if accounting for those would close the gap a fair amount.

Its about 230% more unadjusted by cost of living.
But unless I missed on what SC was communicating, the adjusted tuition paid was about $11k vs. just over $18k. My point was that today's workplace requirements and teaching environments are far more complex than they were nearly 25 years ago which should account for some of the gap.
More complex? B.S.
At least half the additional cost is the arms race in things like dorms that are nicer than my house. Which is ironic when the first dorms chosen in every housing lottery are almost always the older, crappier ones that are in the better locations closer to the center of campus.
It was a bit over $6K when I graduated from Clarkson in 1977. Now CCT runs a bit over $60K! I'm told aid brings it down to around $30K. That's still a lot of money if you haven't saved.
Aid there include loans![]()

Only gender studies have become more complex
English lit still makes one read Faulkner![]()
Dr. Mrs taught Gender Studies and Gender and the Law. It was, and I say this with exactly the same reservations you would have, great stuff.
Mookie is in Bangkok right now and hangs with and talks to all these women on the street. They are incredible. The effort they put through for their families (generations of families) is impressive. Mookie has more women friends than male friends because he likes to hang with people who inspire him. 8/10 times that is a woman.
That's very cool. Are you fluent in Thai?

He's probably fluent in a Thai.

Truer words have never been spoken on USCHO.
Also, and this can't be stressed enough, it's SCSU. Only the most naïve would ever think it's a great school. While you can get a good education in some fields, that list of fields hasn't changed much and people still know SCSU for what it is - the place where two of my roommates thought that Washington, DC, was located in the state of Washington.
