Higher Education: Soaring Out of Reach for America’s Families

By Earl Hadley, Robert Loper and Eric Lotke
Campaign for America's Future
September 01st, 2006
Related Topics:

Since the year 2000, the average cost of tuition at a public college has increased

Conservatives in state governments have cut back funding for colleges, passing more costs to families in the form of increased tuitions and fees. See the reports below for detailed impacts. more »
