When my grandfather went to University of Maryland School of Law in the late 1950’s the tuition was about $200 per year.

By 1970 it was about $400.

Today if it had kept up with inflation it would be about $2,600.

It’s actually more than $31,000.

Students deserve better.
I once asked the Pres. of Penn State:
What’s your greatest challenge?

He said:
It’s the same every year.

Every year I go up to the state capital...

To ask them to stop sending so much more money to the state penn...

So just a little more can come to Penn State.

This morning at church a local public university president thanked the congregation for helping to take in “our growing population of homeless students”.

Think about that for a second.

The church is doing their part.

It’s time for us to do ours and make college affordable.
