Are they though?
But, seriously, I don’t understand why people are upset. Raising fees per se because of inflation doesn’t really change anything.
Would you rather universities raise fees to match inflation ensuring they stay financially stable and continue offering quality education, or would you prefer they don't adjust the fees, causing financial struggles that lead to cuts in courses, staff, and quality? Because if you don't want the fees to rise, are you okay with universities selectively choosing which students can attend based on who can afford the new, unpredictable price changes?
