Climbing Walls and Climbing Tuitions. A Delta Perspective
Kirshstein, Rita J.; Kadamus, James A.
Delta Cost Project at American Institutes for Research
High-end amenities like rock climbing walls on college campuses have become an easy target for those attempting to explain rising tuitions. This Delta Perspective looks beyond the media attention surrounding these "frills" to examine more serious questions about spending on campus facilities, college spending in general, and the real drivers of rising tuitions. (Contains 12 footnotes.)
