The book paints a clear, disturbing, and logical picture of the
rip-off that is the American higher education system. Anyone
who is familiar with the "U.S. News and World Report" college
rankings will be disgusted with USNWR's contribution to the
torrid pace at which tuition has been increased over the past 2
decades. This book reveals the shocking truth that American
colleges spend huge sums of money (thus, raising tuition) in
order to increase their rank on the USNWR.
If you want a book that will quickly and clearly explain why a
college education now costs $160,000 and is no longer
affordable to the average family please read this book. The
middle-class is getting squeezed and this book shows why, but
more importantly how the problem the problem can be solved.
Mr. Streitz has written a valuable and timely book which
should be read by every parent and student in this country.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
The Great American College Tuition Rip-Off is an
examination of why American colleges and universities
have extraordinarily high tuitions and why those tuitions
grow faster than the rate of inflation.
Increased money available for college through loans,
scholarships and government grants has not made
college tuition more affordable. Colleges and universities
quickly up their expenditures to meet the revenue
available and then cry poverty to their alumni.
It examines Hamilton College showing trends in tuition,
number of faculty, comparison to non-elite colleges and
other information. It examines the role that U.S. News
and World Reports plays in increasing college tuition. It
determines that college tuitions are not set by the actual
costs of running a college; rather, tuitions are set by how
much money an institution can charge parents and
students. It shows the dramatic increases in the number
of faculty, administrators and staff. It shows the
proliferation of courses and extra-curricular programs
unnecessary for an education.
The book determines that the financial objective of
colleges and universities is to spend as much money as
possible, with no sense of cost consciousness or the
impact of higher tuitions on students. The institutions then
raise tuition and ask for more money from the alumni.
Tuitions are not set by costs, but by demand.
