What Is Tuition Inflation?

The impact of tuition fees was a huge impact of rising tuition fees in American universities in the 1980s on students and parents and the entire university finances. From 1980 to 1985, tuition fees in American colleges and universities increased by 50%, making many families with poor backgrounds and even middle-class children unable to enter famous public or private universities. At the same time, the share of higher education costs borne by individuals has been increasing, while the share borne by the government has declined. ^[1]
