College Cost Spiral

 So I'm going to point this story from over at Real Clear Investigations, which asks a pretty dramatic question over colleges and just what they can afford to do.  

With all the woke stuff from the past decade.....no one really goes over court business....where a student's rights were violated.  

They bring up Harvard (the University) and this 2017 court episode which is still brewing.  A racial admissions policy is in court, and has burned through 25-million dollars so far, without an end.  

The chief insurance company covering cost?  Their policy is wiped out, and the university is now suing a second insurance company.....saying they need to cover continuing cost of the unfinished case.  The company (Zurich) say 'no'.....challenging this in court.

University of North Carolina?  Same story.

They go through various colleges with woke business and legal challenges, and it's eating up their insurance....driving the rates higher....year by year.

Impacting the cost of higher education?  Well, you can't help but feel that as each year passes....there's another thousand here and there....added to the tuition or various fees of the university system....to cover wokeness.

All of this leading to a fear of risk?  You can't help but feel that administrators are sitting there now and asking stupid questions.

If this led to a yearly tuition fee of $60k for what was $24k just a dozen years ago?  Who'd pay that much for what ought to be $30k max.
