Should the university raise tuition? Currently, the debate over whether universities and colleges should raise tuition fees has generated much attention and discussion among students and faculty. According to the article “The Fight for Public Education in California: Ahead: Accounting for Debt, Accounting for Crisis,” the authors state, “low-income students have on average $2,000 more in debt than the others. Over the past ten years, average tuition costs in the United States have increased by approximately 8 percent (three times the rate of inflation) each year. In the UC system, tuition has increased by 300 percent since 2000." This confirms that university or college students are really struggling to complete the degree because they cannot afford the tuition by themselves or by their parents. In particular, the government and organizations always provide financial support to universities and colleges, they have enough money to fully support the work of the university or college as a whole. So, universities and colleges should not increase tuition fees. One of the reasons why increasing tuition fees at universities and colleges is not favorable is that everyone believes that education is really important for everyone. However, high tuition fees make education a big equity issue. There is an ancient saying in my homeland, China, that goes: "It probably takes about ten years for a tree to grow, but it takes maybe a hundred years to educate a generation of people." » This highlights not only the difficulty but also the great importance of education. With the acceleration of economic globalization, it goes without saying that competition in the labor market will only become more and more fierce. And in today's world, without proper education, it is very hard...... middle of paper ......rsity, but rather a training center. Education belongs to public enterprise and what works in the market cannot be used to increase university profits. Because a university should above all be a non-profit institute. To summarize, I think universities and colleges should not raise their tuition fees. First, educational equity requires that the economic circumstances of students, particularly those from low-income families, be taken into consideration. This is very important for promoting social equity. Second, besides government-supported funds, universities should find other sources to save money or attract more investment to help them survive the period of economic distress. Last but not least, making money should in no way become the goal of running a university. Public companies should not be governed by market rules.
