<p>Nice government (U.S. Department of Education) website contains lots Higher Education related Information:</p>
<p>Higher</a> Education Opportunity Act Information on College Costs</p>
<p>College Affordability and Transparency Center:</p>
<p>NYU students had a protest about this, and many were suspended or assaulted. It’s sad really. Both public and private places of education should have nothing to hide.</p>

<p>However, both public and private universities benefit from less price transparency, since it is harder to compare prices when you do not know how much the net cost is for you (after non-loan financial aid). Once you do know (financial aid offers from schools that accepted you), you have far fewer choices left (just those few schools, a few schools with rolling admissions, and open admission community colleges).</p>
<p>The well paid athletic coaches are typically coaching sports that make money for the university. Now, there is plenty to criticize there (such as tolerating “student-athletes” who make only token efforts at being students), but those sports are not typically the ones that need to be subsidized.</p>
<p>The tuition list is somewhat inaccurate, since some schools list their fees as all-inclusive, while others break down tuition, room, board, etc. into different categories. Bates is listed at the most expensive college at $51,300/year, however Hamilton (where I attend) has a yearly tuition of $42,220, yet the total price is $53,470. It is possible the Bates numbers are for last year, while the Hamilton numbers are for this upcoming year, but it does skew the list a bit (and I don’t think Hamilton is the most expensive college out there).</p>
<p>Nice and needed act by the U.S Government.</p>
