Major universities are now charging from $1000 to $5000 per year additional tuition to business, engineering and science majors. It’s a disgrace.

Wow! I was completely unaware that colleges and universities were doing this.
Yep. I just paid a $542 differential for the first junior year semester on Friday for #1 son, who is in biochemistry/microbiology. They don’t even try to hide it.
My son got his B.S. in Mech. Eng. from the University of Illinois. He had to pay an extra $3K in tuition each year. The concept is that an engineering lab costs a lot more to build and run than a library. Also, an engineering professor can make more as an engineer than an English professor can at ... whatever else an English professor might do for a living.
OTOH, he got a job that paid $55K/year + a car and overtime when he graduated.
