and on which page of that document is Columbia's 2020-2021 tuition listed?
if they wanted to say columbia increased tuition by 15% this year from last year, that would be correct. but stating that they are increasing it the same rate next year is speculation presented as fact.
Per the US Treasury..."The CARES Act provides fast and direct economic assistance for American workers and families, small businesses, and preserves jobs for American industries."
How does adding funds to these institutions (some of which are very questionable, i.e. Academy of Art University - $3.79million ) meet that charge. That is the point I believe the writer was trying to make.
Columbia's increase in tuition is inconsequential to the story.
its context. the only purpose of those 3 bottom numbers is to paint them as the rich evil bad guys that don't deserve our tax dollars.
its not hard to use correct numbers to make somebody seem a rich evil bad guy. no need to exaggerate or extrapolate. Why not just say their 19-20 tuition is $61k, which was 15% higher than their 18-19 tuition? That would have been correct and still made them seem like greedy jerks.
When you include 1 fake number, all the rest become more suspicious, and motives become suspect. Better to just use real numbers in the first place.

The other dude is right, if you lie about one thing you lose credibility with the rest
