    Back in 2009-10 while American businesses were searching for every way to cut costs, while tens of thousands of Americans were being laid off or terminated, colleges and universities just kept raising tuition since the college loan program had been taken over by the Obama administration and loan amounts kept rising to meet the charges. (probably not a coincidence that universities such as Cal gave $500,000 to Obama's campaign.)
    College tuition has risen 213% in the past 30 years greatly outpacing inflation. The average student loan debt in just over $37,000.

    What is more valuable in this day and age? A Plumbers or Electricians license or a Batchelor's Degree?

    Has IU matched Purdue in this area?
