EXERCISE IN WORLDBUILDING here in this article on college costs.  Read what I say below the quote -- Marked off with ##. First THINK:  TUMBLR just sold for 1.1 BILLION DOLLARS, and was created by a High School dropout (or so they're advertising) living in his parent's apartment.  QUOTE:  The average tuition and fees at a public, four-year university rose to $8,655 in 2012-13, not counting the costs of room and board, according to the College Board. That’s 250 percent more than it would have cost in 1982, when a year of college would have set the average student back just $2,423 in today’s dollars. The tuition at private colleges has increased at a slightly lower rate over the same period: The average four-year private institution costs $29,056, not counting room and board. It would have cost $10,901 in 2012 dollars in 1982. The pricey degree comes with big returns, on average: College-educated workers earned 79 percent more than high-school-educated workers in 2012 and were much less likely to be unemployed. The pain of the price hikes has been partly offset by an increase in federal grants and tax breaks for college, as well as by private schools offering deeply discounted tuition rates to lower-income students. But even with that help, some students like Bonilla are finding themselves locked out of the system. ##and lower down in this long article## In their book, “Why Does College Cost So Much?” Robert Archibald and David Feldman, economists at the College of William & Mary, are firmly in the Baumol camp. They argue that a college’s hefty price tag isn’t actually surprising at all, given that it depends on the performance of its workforce—highly educated professors and teachers who provide a face-to-face service, not a material good. Larger economic trends have jacked up the salaries of highly educated workers across the board in recent decades, while the cost of face-to-face services has also remained high, because technological advances do not necessarily make these services cheaper. Feldman used the example of the cost of a haircut, which has also outpaced inflation in the past 30 years. While technology has made factories vastly more efficient at producing goods for less money, technological advances have not been able to make the time a haircut takes shorter or replace the skilled person who has to give the haircut. College is like a haircut on steroids, because the barbers have PhDs. “Higher education is an industry where there’s not a whole lot of productivity growth and not a whole lot of scope for productivity growth,” Feldman said. ## It's very long and worth the time to read## QUOTE: “It’s not actually that the colleges are spending more money on the students, it’s that they’re getting … much less money per student from the state government,” Baum said. That means students aren’t necessarily getting more for their money, especially at public institutions. Advances in technology might help colleges cut costs in the future, either by allowing them to have fewer in-person classes as more people take classes online or by streamlining some library costs, among other possibilities. But higher education experts say there’s no silver bullet. ## The article doesn't emphasize pension costs for University staff as part of the rise in costs. But look at the cost-of-living graph for the past few decades, and the probability that someone will live beyond 90.  Then consider that this generation of workers has seen parents out-live pensions or pension-paying institutions they worked for all their lives, and consider what you would ask in pension guarantees.  We can't SAVE for ourselves, and we can't afford to pay such pensions, but we all need such pensions.  So what do we do?  What do our grandchildren do? THIS IS WHAT SCIENCE FICTION IS MADE OF!!!  Think it through.  Really think, then build a world and write a novel in it. Sticker shock: New college graduates, here is why your education cost so much money When high school senior Jenny Bonilla got her college acceptance letter in March, she felt shock and heartbreak rather than joy. That’s because the letter from Goucher College, a private liberal arts school in Baltimore, also brought news that she would owe an unaffordable $20,000 a year in tuition and board, even with a scholarship [...] 13 hours ago - Via Google+ - View - Meline William : Mississippi universities seeking $30 million more in 2015 budget The College Board will seek roughly $30 million more in state money in the 2015 budget year.

The College Board has long claimed its gold standard AP Program can help students succeed in college, narrow the achievement gap and level the playing field for traditionally under-served high schools and students. The program has had its share of controversy since its inception in 1955 and subsequent substantial growth, particularly in the last two decades. Some have argued that it is over-valued, emphasizing memorization over deep mastery of content, and that it also puts a strain on high schools, parents and students. 4 days ago - Via HootSuite - View - Ray Selby : DutchNews.nl - Amsterdam college board stops experiment to print a gun The board of Amsterdam’s hbo college have banned students and lecturers from making a gun with the college’s 3D printer. 4 days ago - Via Google+ - View - The College Board : The White House is kicking off #WeTheGeeks , a new series of Google+ Hangouts to highlight the future...
