i'm talking out of my ass here, but didn't student loan debt start in the 80s? some journo thought it would be fun to rank unis yearly with some normal, but also strange metrics. the result was that most unis decided to increase fees, so they could spend more money on swimming pools and gyms to increase satisfaction levels. the ranking left out cost, otherwise the established elite unis wouldn't have been on top, creating disillusionment and now even the shittiest college costs more than ever thought possible. also jews, almost forgot that.
