wow really?
Then how the hell did they operate in the centuries before grants and loans?
Mostly on state funds. States don't want to fund higher education anymore though, they want to fund prisons.

seriously, making shit up doesn't support what you just made up.
Did UT-Austin make this up?
Tuition Costs : Tuition Dollars & Sense
The tuition charged is in part dependent on the amount of state support received by the institution. In the early 1970s the state paid for nearly 85 percent of the cost of running the educational side of The University of Texas at Austin. Today, the state-appropriated fraction of the total budget for UT Austin is below 20 percent. The growing gap between what it costs to run the university and what the state is able to contribute has been covered in part by private donations, efficiency and other actions taken by the university. However, if the university is to maintain delivery of the quality of education for which it has become known, it determined it had to ask the students attending the university to pay for an increasing share of that gap. The University of Texas at Austin's tuition places it well below tuition at comparable universities, and the university continues to be a nationally recognized great value in higher education.
I nearly paid my way through as a waiter in '85. You couldn't come close now, and it's not b/c colleges can't afford to charge less, it's b/c they know they can charge whatever they want b/c they will get the money for a semester weather they kid comes and stays or show for one day.
The vast majority of colleges aren't for-profit institutions you dolt. They charge what they need to cover their costs.
