The Cracks of Higher Education Higher Education, a place where students are allowed to continue to be pushed through challenging material. This idea has recently came under fire during times where the burden of knowledge gets pushed further and further up the education system.

“Why do you want all these extra students, so you can build more buildings, and come here looking for more money, and increase tuition more to pay for them?” This was over an argument in the building of Northern Arizona Universities’ fitness center, which they claimed to build out of the need to attract more students. The logic hear is full of flaws, because instead of charging a fee to use the fitness center, they hiked up tuition rates to pay for, and maintain the new addition to the campus.

It is understandable that student education is expensive and requires money to provide. Schooling cannot be free if it wants to be effective and beneficial. The reason tuitions have skyrocketed is due to Universities becoming a business instead of a school. They are looking to maximize the amount of students, and minimize the amount of time and effort used per student. The outcomes of these choices are very poor for students. Students begin to think “Is going into debt, and spending tens of thousands of dollars’ worth the chance at a higher paying job?” This kind of thinking cannot continue. The United States will lose out on some of it brightest thinkers, who may just be unlucky enough to be at the low totem pull of economic classes. Higher Education may always have a price tag, but it should never be out of reach or too costly for anyone who wished to pursue it with discipline.

The issue must be dealt with, otherwise it may just blow up in our
