Why Did College Tuition Increase in the 70s? 🎓

In this clip from my LIVE Sharpe Way show, I respond to a lecture from University Professor Dr. Roy Casagranda, where he blames rising college tuition and job losses in the 1970s on a vague government-led conspiracy to crush protests and unions. But is that the full story?

I break down what he ignores—including the 1965 Higher Education Act, massive federal loan expansion, Vietnam War debt, Nixon’s wage and price controls, and the end of the silver-backed dollar. Casagranda’s oversimplification and cherry-picked narrative mislead students and leave out critical context.

This is a must-watch if you want to understand the real economic and political causes behind rising college costs and deindustrialization in America. Let’s challenge the narrative and talk solutions.
