While this may be true, I feel that universities are doing these tuition increases because the Obama administration is giving more government money towards individual students pursuing a 4 year undergraduate education. Maybe these grants and scholarships are lowering school revenue because less and less people are needing to take out loans.

The tuition increases are happening now almost every semester since I’ve been at UTEP. Yet the grants are also increasing. In the end, it pretty much evens out but UTEP does need to stop freaking out about losing money.
