New Documentary Film Examines the High Cost of College
The movie is called Ivory Tower and you can watch the trailer below.
Eric Owens of the Daily Caller wrote about it recently.
If you are looking to catch a flick this weekend, you could do a lot worse than “Ivory Tower.”
The provocative documentary, which hit select theaters on Friday, demonstrates in sad detail how American college students and their families are struggling to cope with tuition prices that have skyrocketed 1,120 percent in “absolute dollars” since 1978.
The director, Andrew Rossi, talked to The College Fix recently about the documentary.
Rossi observed that salaries for bureaucrats ranging from incredibly cushy to downright obscene have been a huge factor in tuition increases.
“The increase in administrators and professional staff has far outpaced the growth of full-time faculty,” Rossi told the Fix.
Many college presidents now bring home seven-figure salaries, he noted.
