[QUOTE="donner, post: 2990834, member: 277"] Not sure about the numbers you threw out. "Free tuition" is not something that is easy to get these days, even if you are in a low income bracket. You're right, though, the a large part of the increase is that states are contributing less to the higher ed budgets. Another issue, at least with some state schools, is that the legislatures often set rules about who the schools have to admit. For example, if you can graduate from high school in Mississippi, Ole Miss [I]must[/I] accept you if you apply. That is not a bad thing, per se, but it does mean that they can't fill that spot with someone who might have better grades and/or someone from out of state who will pay more per credit hour. At least here, it also means that the school needs to provide more 'leveling' classes to bring some of the students up to par with where they should be (math especially). And my wife, who is a professor, will be the first to tell you that not everyone should go to college. [/QUOTE]
