Was it, like, meaningfully up?

Yes.

Like, how would you characterize it?

Meaningfully up.

I would say a meaningful increase in the price.

Denning told me that for every additional dollar that students received overall in loans, graduate schools increased their prices by... matched

64 cents. matched

Two-thirds of a dollar, something like that.

And Denning and his colleagues say that this is a causal relationship, that their study found because the students could borrow more, many schools were indeed charging more. matched

Not so fast, Kenny. matched

Yes, yes. matched

I suspect there's more. matched

So, I also reached out to another researcher that lots of folks told me I need to talk to if I'm digging into the Bennett hypothesis. matched

And his name is Robert Kelchin. matched

I'm a professor of higher education at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. matched

So unlike Denning and his colleagues on the Texas study, Kelchin, rather than studying a state or an area, he focused in specifically on different fields of study. matched

I did research looking at business, medical, and law schools across the country. matched

So what was the impact of limitless borrowing on traditionally pretty expensive graduate school programs and what he found? matched

I did not find evidence. matched

quote, I did not find evidence of the Bennett hypothesis, meaning no evidence that there's a direct connection between student loans and tuition prices. matched
