High Cost of Higher Education

Bob Dyers and his awards for the 2008 year.

"HOUDINI AWARD: During these tough economic times, the kind souls at the University of Akron have ''frozen'' tuition. Well, UA now charges a mandatory transportation fee of $115 per semester, even if you don't park on campus or use the buses. But that's not a tuition hike. And UA is now making students absorb the 2.9 percent processing fee on credit-card payments. But that's not a tuition hike. And UA charges a parent $25 to walk through freshman orientation day with their kid. But that's not a tuition hike. And in one year, UA's standard meal plan shot up 5 percent and housing 9 percent. But that's not a tuition hike. Nope. All that money is just sort of magically changing hands."
