What if beer and pizza prices rose 115 percent?

The education available at Kansas’ state universities was undervalued compared with peer institutions. But how much longer can the Kansas Board of Regents use that justification for its serial tuition hikes, including another round last month? The cost of attending Wichita State University has risen 65 percent since 2000, which looks bad until you look at the University of Kansas (115 percent) and Kansas State University (98 percent). Where is the outrage? Or at least the official recognition that such inflation has consequences?
