I can't tell you about that college specifically, but my tuition doubled over the course of my education, from 2004 -> 2009. No major changes, really, and in fact, the CS department was basically dying.

Personal theory: it became easier to get loans, and schools know that students aren't exactly price sensitive. What's the difference between $2k and $4k a semester when you're paying it off years later anyway?

(Turns out, a lot, but not when every single influence in the world is _screaming_ that if you don't go to college, you're a failure.)
