A college tuition in what sense?

College degrees have different values - an engineering degree has a very different value than a history degree. Since the tuition at four year schools for both degrees is (largely) the same but the financial value after graduation is different, I would argue that one of those degrees is a luxury degree while the other is not.

If you're arguing "the middle class should be able to afford college tuition without debt", that's a slightly different argument, but I'm not sure it has any merit (given the above that students make _choices_ about what degree to seek and that some degrees are luxury degrees).
