There are municipal resource colleges. They're called community colleges. They are extremely affordable. Very few people want to go there.

few people want to go there because the bit of paper you get at the end is the value and those a worth less than the bits of paper you get from other universities.

#6Charles J. Sykes has been writing about this for decades. I recommend his books "Profscam" and especially "Fail U" for more information on why college has become so costly for such little return

Plus, usually they don't offer anything more than an associate's degree. Can't remember the last time I saw anything less than "bachelor's degree or equivalent experience" on a job listing.

#9Why not penalise tertiary institutions by stating that if students don’t find employment using those credentials, within 2 yard, their alumni fund / endowment fund gets raided the cost the degree?

#10So where is the money going?
If the price of something is increasing faster than inflation then I expect something in return for the extra money I am paying like a bigger house, faster computer, whatever.
I went to college in the 1990's. Are college students getting a better education or experience for all the extra money they are paying? I've seen my university's new classrooms, student center, library, dorms, etc. and they are way nicer than when I was there. I don't know if the huge upgrade in facilities is also happening at other schools.
