Larson, Erik
Time Magazine, v149 n11 p46-50,52,53-54 Mar 17 1997
A reporter returned to his undergraduate institution, the University of Pennsylvania, to learn why tuition has risen so much in recent decades, and how the university spends the income. The complexity of administering the university enterprise is highlighted, and some perceived inequities are identified. Topics discussed include endowment funds, faculty/administrator salaries and fringe benefits, athletics programs, and administrative costs. (MSE)
