LETTERS, Page 6Skyrocketing Tuition
I will be reading your article on the high cost of college
tuition to my high school students (EDUCATION, Sept. 25). Tuition
increases may be justified by colleges as lures to attract and hold
top-rated faculty, but the truth is that these professors rarely
even see undergraduates, much less teach them. Parents and students
will have to realize that great research universities are not
necessarily great teaching institutions.

An Ivy League college degree does have clout in the job market.
When I graduated from Brown two years ago, my first job was busing
tables at a sushi restaurant. After my first day on the job, I told
the owner where I had gone to college, and next day I was made
manager.
