...raising tuition and cutting corners, and now it has no choice but "to moderate further tuition increases through a new burst of capital," Kaufmann says.

Which of these views is wrong? Nei ther, said Einstein. Measurements of time depend on the choice of the reference frame ? in this case, the train or the point along the tracks...
...Einstein's new relativistic world, both time and distance are equally fickle and depend on the relative motion of observers. The only absolute remaining is the speed of light. Out of this theorizing emerged some bizarre conclusions about the effect of so-called relativistic speeds, those near the velocity of light. As an observer on earth, for example, watches a spacecraft move away at about 260,000 km (160,-000 miles) per second, time aboard the ship (assuming he is able to see the ship's clock) seems to him to move at only half the rate that it would...
