Rising Cost of a College Education

I found this 2019 article on college costs: You Won’t Believe How Much College Costs Have Jumped in the Past 50 Years

The article states costs have gone up 31X from 1969 to 2019, or a little over 7% average per year for 50 years.   Based on the numbers shared, I assume costs shown are only for yearly tuition/fees and do not include room and board. The article includes a table of average college costs through 2019.
