Why must it be justified in the first place and to whom?
not that you're wrong, just curious as to how you have decided that education cost need to be justified...
Why should people have good reasons for doing things? That's an absurd question and I think you're more than intellectually equipped to answer that yourself.
Universities should have their costs economically justified to the people of the communities they serve, which in this case is the United States.
No, why should schools have to justify their cost?
All studies show it to be not only a worthwhile investment, but a great investment. What exactly are you asking them to justify?
The return by all accounts justifies the cost... unless I've missed something. In which case please share.

"why should schools have to justify their cost" = "why should schools have good reasons for charging the prices they do" = why should people have good reasons for doing things"
Again, I think you can figure this out.
You imply that an action is justified or not based solely on whether it gives a decent ROI to the individual. By this definition you support all corrupt and oppressive states as long as the policymakers earn a nice return from their actions! I think you can see what's wrong here.
It offers a nice return on investment because ppl are pretty much forced to have a higher education in order to obtain a decent standard of living even if the job that they get out of college really didn't need them to do that much schooling or goto school in the first place.No, why should schools have to justify their cost?

The students are investing and earning a good return no?...
It sounds to me, like you're demanding justification for something that benefits the vast majority of those involved... and I'm wondering why?
Let me pose the question: Is the current cost(on average) of a 4yr degree worth it? Are students being fleeced?
That question does not have a real answer, it's completely situational and dependent on the student, the school they go to, and their major.
But what we do know that having such a large number of young people in so much debt is a huge drag on the economy in general. People with a bunch of student loan debt are less likely to buy houses (and when they do it's at a later age), less likely to buy cars, more likely to live at home, less likely to get married or settle down, less likely to make any big purchases, more likely to have messed up credit, etc.

Is this a serious question? Where have you been for the past few years? Student loan debt is at record highs and there is no economic justification for it. Take a look at this article, it breaks it down in very simple terms.
The conclusion is particularly important:
Would it be fair to say that college has become(or has always been) a barrier?
and a barrier that is proving to be bad for the economy?

Mine was 6K a YEAR. It's constantly listed at the top value colleges.I remember for a EU program i was talking to a few students from top schools like exeter.. and they told me their tuition was something like 4-5k a semester

I go to UF right now and it is listed as a high value US college and for in state it is about 17k a year.
it's only a barrier because of it's unreasonable cost. College has such great value. I would be still in school working on something else if it were free, becoming more and more educated.

. Only those who have enough money should have access to it and to education, because they deserve it more than the poor.
