Matthews, Dylan. “The Tuition is Too Damn High, Part III — The three reasons tuition is rising.” 28 August 2013. The Washington Post. Web. 27 February 2016.

Matthews provide illustrations and research information from the Delta Cost Project.The point of this article is to show the readers a breakdown of the main causes of rising tuition, with the three different scenarios stated. Within the breakdown is what’s happening, where’s it happening, number of students enrolled, and an explanation. The intended audience is for individuals affected by the topic, why tuition is rising. The information discussed in the article by Matthews is very useful to anyone interested with the topic. Matthews uses more than one particular college, he uses private, public, and community colleges. Matthews also discusses the different problems each college has to address. Credibility in this article is very visible; the sources used to gather the information are based on the Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). A gap in this source is it doesn’t include information from specific ethnic backgrounds and how it effects them. (CONNECT TO OTHER SOURCES IN BIB.) This source is helpful to me, because I can include the data about the different problems colleges face. It will be an illustration of the actual numbers. I haven’t changed my mind about my topic, this is evidence that strengthens my desire to look further into the factors that affect the cost of tuition.
