Economics / price of academic courses in relation to inflation
French term or phrase: ajustement sensible
« Les prix des cours académiques exprimés en $US ne vont pas connaitre un ajustement sensible par rapport à l’inflation. »

It's primarily the word "sensible" that I am searching for a good way to translate.
