> Today, Harvard’s tuition is $52,659, representing an 89 percent increase in real cost. The Harvard education is certainly not 89 percent better than it was 36 short years ago, nor is it 89 percent more difficult to provide.
The common refrain about higher education costs is state governments have cut back on subsidies, so it's interesting seeing this stat for Harvard since it doesn't get the same level of state support, has an endowment, and still saw tuition double.
