The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles. The terms dictated to Germany included a war guilt clause, in which Germany accepted responsibility as the aggressor in the war. Based on this clause, the Allies imposed reparations for war damage.his treaty conformed to the Versailles agreement except for the omission of the League of Nations provisions. The Treaty of Versailles has been criticized as a vindictive agreement that violated the spirit of Wilson's Fourteen Points.
But since 2008, the rises in tuition have been steep. The average tuition for four-year public institutions has risen by more than 60 percent in six states, more than 40 percent in 10 states, and more than 20 percent in 29 states.
(Appropriations per student are much higher now than they were in the 1960s and 1970s, when tuition was a small fraction of what it is today.) As the baby boomers reached college age, state appropriations to higher education skyrocketed, increasing more than fourfold in todayâs dollars, from $11.1 billion in 1960 to $48.2 billion in 1975. By 1980, state funding for higher education had increased a mind-boggling 390 percent in real terms over the previous 20 years.
