Does seem a bit odd at a publisher, but I suppose that a lot of people in a publishing company aren't editors.

My graduate school tuition at Texas A&M University 30 some odd years ago was $20 per semester hour plus a couple of hundred dollars for miscellaneous fees. Undergrad tuition at that time was only $4 per semester hour at Texas A&M and most of the other state colleges. Now it costs hundreds of dollars per semester hour and hundreds of dollars more for every fee you can think of. Private colleges in USA are typically much higher priced than state colleges. I'm not sure how anyone other than the filthy rich can even afford to pay for their kids college, much less how kids themselves can.
