The Automation of Higher Education
by David F. Noble October, 1997 FROM 1997

Notes
* Tuition began to outpace inflation in the early 1980's, at precisely  
the moment when changes in the patent system enabled the universities  
to become major vendors of patent licenses. According to data compiled  
by the National Center for Educational Statistics, between 1976 and  
1994 expenditures on research increased 21.7% at public research  
universities while expenditure on instruction decreased 9.5%. Faculty  
salaries, which had peaked in 1972, fell precipitously during the next  
decade and have since recovered only half the loss.
