Education: Rate of enrollment decreases
Continued from page 6
Statistics from the 2005 “The Condi
tion of Education” report put out by
the NCES aiso show that students who
graduate high school and enroll the fol
lowing October in college come pre
dominantly from middle and high-in
come households. From 2002 to 2005,
the percentage change of students who
enrolled straight out of high-school de
creased by 4.8 percent in all incomes,
meaning that the rate of enrollment
I has declined, not that a lower number
of total students enrolled. Overall, to
tal enrollment continues to climb for
all races and sexes.
Tuition and inflation
According to Finaid.org, an online
financial aid organization for stu
dents, “during any 17-year period
from 1958 to 2001, the average annu
al tuition inflation rate was between
6 percent and 9 percent, ranging from
1.2 times general inflation to 2.1
times general inflation. On average,
tuition tends to increase about 8 per
cent per year. An 8 percent college in
flation rate means that the cost of col
lege doubles every nine years.”
A February 2002 press release from
the U.S. Department of Education said
that during the 10-year period before
1998, “tuition charges in both public
and private sectors rose faster than in
flation.” As of April 2005, the inflation
rate reached 3.51 percent and an aver
age of 2.99 percent for fiscal year 2005,
calculated through June. Between ac
ademic years 2001-02 and 2002-03, tu
ition rose 9 percent at four-year public
universities and 7 percent at two-year
public universities.

Topics on the agenda include:

be a Hilton’ just need to get a frickin'
life?”; and “How in the world are we
going to manage respectfully disgree
ing with each other over an entire nine
months, make the tough decisions
necessary to become a respected stu
dent governing body, and maintain
professional relationships...?”
