I think this must be why more folks aren't as gobsmacked at the indefensible and insane tuition hike as I am. Nobody would pay $40 for a Happy Meal. Even if your cost was $10 due to a Happy Meal-need scholly, you would be, at least, perturbed by the fact that something that should require so little effort, and also confers such little benefit, would cost that much regardless who pays for it. But this happened to public school tuition and I feel like I'm the only person pissed off. I used to love to brag about the value of my Texas degree, but it is a huge buttfucking at today's prices IMO. In the late 90s I remember reading that a Texas MBA was a questionable decision from a cost-benefit perspective for a typical student.
I think everybody should get a degree that wants one, in whatever you want. But it should not cost, by any measure, $1,130 per hour of instruction. This pricing is saying that in order to educate you on Art History that is the economic cost. Of course we all know this is insane, if things really "cost" that much we would all be living in log cabins.
