　　The study by George Washington University (George Washington University) on Stephanie Riegg Cellini and Claudia Goldin co chaired the Harvard University pointed out that the higher tuition fees of private universities in accordance with the federal "higher education law" the fourth chapter of the student loan subsidy eligibility, and this phenomenon is consistent with former U.S. Secretary of Education William J.

　　Cellini and Goldin said, perhaps these universities also inject a lot of funds to enhance the teaching quality and school reputation, but the biggest reason for soaring tuition fees is the cost of large enrollment propaganda.
The report claimed to be the history of the comprehensive assessment of private colleges and universities for the first time (first comprehensive estimate), the number of the data that inferences from the general situation, the total number of private colleges and universities than the official statistics (official version only calculate the access to federal subsidies) more than doubled, the number of students is also higher 1/4 to 1/3. In addition, the list of private schools that do not qualify for government grants is rarely changed, and students are often required to compete with community colleges and private universities that receive subsidies.
