WATCH: Colleges raise tuition...again

On this week’s episode of Campus Countdown, Campus Reform Correspondent Wyatt Eichholz reports on the sharp increase in college tuition prices heading into the 2022-2023 academic year. 

Twenty-seven of the top 30 schools in the United States have raised tuition for the 2022-2023 year. 

The University of Southern California hiked prices by 6.96%, and Vanderbilt University tuition has ballooned 11.64% compared to its fall 2019 level. 

Scholars attribute tuition inflation to federal aid, lack of a competitive market, and bloated administrations. Public in-state tuition has risen by as much as 211% over the last twenty years. 

Campus Reform Correspondent Eileen Doolan joins Campus Countdown this week to discuss a lawsuit launched by a former student of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville alleging that the school violated her First Amendment rights. 

Eichholz also highlights a Canadian school’s “land acknowledgment” that forces students to own up to genocide. 

He also reports on Lia Thomas’ claim during his first public appearance on Good Morning America.
