I disagree with you
No, the lie is yours ITC. Not many Wake Trustees in their 20s, but keep looking for others to blame. You're really good at it.
did you graduate in the 90s? didn't think so

Our generation had no one on the Board of Trustees when they started the dramatic increases that continue through today.
Per Capita income in 1971 was about $7000 and Wake cost about $2500 all in.
In 2016 per capita income was about $58,000 and Wake cost about $65,000 all in.
Clearly, more true middle income people could afford Wake when it cost about 35% of per capita income vs. 112% of today.
The urban legend was that in the 80s there was a downturn in applications and a study was done as to why. The alleged, bizarre answer was HS guidance counselors didn't believe a school that was so cheap could be so good. So, the Trustees started huge increases in the cost to go to Wake.
I'm pretty sure there is a security guard in the gatehouse from 10 pm until 6 am. I would guess that if there was an emergency they could get another security guard to go with you to the property. Or, if you wanted to be proactive I'm sure the homeowner could have you added to the list to allow access at night. It's not Fort Knox.
Current costs are crazy compared to those days. Yet people pay it.
It helps that Wake's admissions is no longer need blind and doesn't require the SAT. Makes the process more eh, flexible...
so who do I give the Internet points to
But it wasn't linear. From 70-71 to 72-73 it only went up a total of $200. It went up $1550 to $1750 for three years. Then under 10% for 74-75 to 75-76 and under 5% for 75-76 to 76-77.
Additionally as the rate gets higher, even at 11%, you start eliminating more people quicker.
Other costs impact the total cost of attendance as well. I remember my dad giving me a "bonus" to have $20/week for food my soph year as the meal plan was about $15/week at The Pit.

Health care inflation, 1970 - 2016: 2800%, which is an outrageous number
WFU tuition inflation for those that can "afford" it, 1970 - 2016: 4300%
