Literature Review Blog #1

2. Engler, Mark. "Why Is College So Damned Expensive?." New Internationalist 475 (2014): 33. Left Index. Web. 11 Oct. 2016.

3. This article was interesting to me because it mentioned several of the topics you suggested I looked into. The author suggests different reasons for rising tuitons. He also provides a prediction of what college tuitions will be like in the next decade or two based on its rate. College tuitions have gone up at a rate two times as fast as the cost of medical care. Although he only talks about these facts briefly, it was interesting to see him discussing the same points you mentioned and now I have a good idea of  what to further research. 

4. Mark Engler is the author of the book This Is An Uprising which is about how non-violence action is rising in our country with things such as BlackLivesMatter. He is also a columnist for the New Internationalist which is a UK magazine that discusses topics such as human rights, politics, and social and environmental justice. 

5. I'm not sure if there were any key words in this article.

6. "Between 1980 and 2010, college costs went up three times faster than the Consumer Price Index. They even increased twice as fast as the cost of medical care."

"There are multiple reasons for the increasing costs of US education: expanding campuses, construction of new labs and facilities, and the bloated number of administrators now presiding over the system."

"Ceaseless rounds of state-level budget cuts since the late 1980s have driven up prices at public universities astronomically"

7. Like I said before, this article mentioned some of the same points you mentioned to me in my last blog so now I really have an idea of what to further research. Although, I would've liked if the article was a little longer and had more information.
