Less affordable colleges may get ‘F,’ land on Wall of Shame

Colleges beware: One more tuition hike and your name might just end up on a new federal Wall of Shame.

The College Opportunity and Affordability Act, signed Aug. 14 by President Bush, will require the Department of Education to post online the colleges and universities with the highest percentage increases in tuition and fees in a three-year period. It also calls for the department to list the 5% of colleges with the highest overall sticker prices.
