College tuition hikes viewed with cautious acceptance
A survey finds 90 percent say a four year education is worth the cost while anxiety over college prices wanes. Tuition rises slowed in the mid to late 1990s, with private four year schools up about 5 percent and public at 4 percent. The report notes broad price awareness and continued demand at selective, expensive colleges, with concern focused on informing low income and minority students about financial returns.
