So reads an article in the New York Times, based on a report by the
College Board.
More and more of the costs of an education are being placed on the students and their parents. The change over the last 25 years or so are very dramatic.
This author, in 1981, paid more for college tution than at any point in the previous four years: $210 for 20+ hours of credit at the University of Texas at Austin. This was during a time when the State of Texas, and the Texas endowment were paying the lion's share of the cost of education.
