The $70,000-a-Year Liberal Arts College Just Won’t Die

I do not agree that computing is less expensive than in the past. Yes, consumable electronics like desktop computers are less expensive, but you cannot imagine the gear and tools needed from WiFi to the demand for a larger internet pipe to the ever-growing list of tools to identify cyber threats. My budget is far larger now than 20 years ago. Add in learning management systems, the run away costs of a student system, admissions systems (CRM), and retention tools and you are talking well in excess of $1m each year just for those.
