William F. Goodling: “A GAO study of college costs found that tuition at 4-year public colleges and universities has increased 234 percent…”

On the recordSeptember 10, 1996
A GAO study of college costs found that tuition at 4-year public colleges and universities has increased 234 percent over the last 14 years, but the median house income rose only 82 percent and the Consumer Price Index rose only 74 percent. This committee wants to know why the dramatic increases in college costs, and we want to get a handle on that so that more students will have an opportunity to attend a 4-year institution and graduate from a 4-year institution, because the number of dropouts from 4-year institutions has reached an all-time high.
