A well-known trend in higher education funding is having more of an impact on students who attend Indiana’s state universities than at those in other states.
The trend is toward a lowering of state support. A study called the State Higher Education Finance report issued last week by the State Higher Education Executive Officers, revealed that state support across the country is at a 25-year low. Tuition for students has risen sharply as a result.
The uniquely bad news for Hoosiers is that state support is about $1,000 lower than the national average, while tuition accounted for about $1,800 more for Indiana’s state institutions.
