Abstract

The root causes of why students are accruing so much debt in pursuit of higher education is the steep rising cost of tuition and fees of college attendance. In this podcast, we examine the other college debt crisis. That's how university borrowing for capital projects has added thousands of dollars in fees to our students tuition bills, and subsequently to their student loan balances.
