State Education Spending Still Lower Than In 2008: Report - Tyler Kingkade, Huffington Post

Every state except for North Dakota and Wyoming has cut funding for higher education since 2008, and nationwide state spending for public colleges is down 28 percent in the 2013 fiscal year, according to an analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Eleven states trimmed financial support per student by one-third, and Arizona and New Hampshire chopped higher education spending per student in half, the analysis found. The lack of financial support contributed to rising tuition costs, the CFBP found. As a result, 2013 college graduates are the most indebted class yet. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/28/state-education-spending-report_n_3348097.html
