I've been a little AWOL lately from the blogging world. Let's just say I've been super busy. I bet you have too, so maybe you haven't had the chance to read lately and maybe we are on the same page. If you haven't been as busy as me I apologize for the extended absence.
I recently read an article in the New York Times about spending inequality in colleges. Apparently private research colleges have increased their per-student spending by nearly 5 times in the last ten years, while community colleges have been spending about the same amount of money as ten years ago per student. This is mostly because state and local funding has dropped significantly for public colleges and universities. This stagnation means that real dollar values for expenses related to running these colleges and universities have decreased.
