Cox, John L. – International Journal of Educational Advancement, 2010
College leaders and policymakers benefit by understanding the relationship between increases in private giving, changes in state appropriations and how to position the institution to maximize both sources of revenue.

Fuller, Ryan – California Postsecondary Education Commission, 2009
Fees at California's public colleges and universities have increased in the past two decades, but are still lower than fees at comparable institutions in other states.

Baum, Sandy; Ma, Jennifer – College Board Advocacy & Policy Center, 2012
Widespread concern about the high and rising price of college makes timely data on tuition increases in historical context particularly important. The increase in average published tuition and fees at public four-year colleges and universities for the 2012-13 academic year is smaller than it has been in recent years--and below the average growth…

Sander, Libby – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2008
Figuring out how to pay for college is a common challenge for many students across the country. But in Pennsylvania, where tuition at public two- and four-year institutions is among the highest in the country, state officials are revisiting a topic that has long frustrated students and officials alike. This article reports that with the meltdown…

Meyer, Katrina A. – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2010
If higher education is a right, and distance education is the avenue for making higher education universally available, then who shall pay? This article asks (1) can state governments in the United States afford to fund this initiative and (2) can public higher education institutions in the U.S. fund this effort through capitalizing on…

Smith, Lauren – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2007
Public colleges often blame their tuition increases on state lawmakers who the colleges say have not given them enough extra money to keep up with rising costs. This year, many states' public colleges received sizable infusions of public money and still raised tuition. In nearly half of the states, both state appropriations for higher education…

Worley, Mary Beth – New Directions for Institutional Research, 2008
Nationally, state spending for public higher education has been declining as a proportion of state general fund expenditures. Traditionally state-appropriated budgets for public colleges and universities tend to be cut during times of economic crisis, but often these funds are not always restored once the crisis has passed. As a result "the…

Dillon, Erin; Carey, Kevin – Education Sector, 2009
The authors find that college students are borrowing more and taking on riskier forms of debt than ever before. If tuition increases continue to grow faster than inflation and family income and grant aid fails to keep pace, the authors project that more students will be left with few choices beyond student loans--and, increasingly, private loans.…

McLendon, Michael K.; Mokher, Christine G.; Doyle, William – Journal of Education Finance, 2009
No empirical studies have attempted to explain why states invest differentially in their research and in their non-research universities, although these differences hold important implications for students, postsecondary systems, and society. Deploying a form of hierarchical-linear modeling, our study examines across-state variation in state…
