It seems that the higher educators are surprised that government tax credits often lead to universities raising tuition by the amount of the tax credit. Welcome to the real world of business and filthy lucre, professors! A guy selling towels at a street fair could have told them as much.Or an economist.
Pedant's note: there are these things called elasticities of demand and supply that generally lead to an increase smaller than the amount of the credit.
