Adjustments for Inflation

All comparisons between 1992–93 and 1999–2000 of tuition, net tuition, total price of attendance, and net price of attendance were made using constant 1999 dollars based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) table provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The average Consumer Price Index was 140.3 in 1992 (for the 1992–1993 academic year) and 166.6 in 1999 (for the 1999–2000 academic year). The multiplier used to convert 1992 into 1999 dollars was 1.188. Standard errors also were adjusted for inflation in the same manner.
