Moody's predicts modest growth in tuition revenue - Jarrett Carter, Education Dive

Moody's Investors Service says that colleges and universities are projected to see a 2% increase in tuition revenues for FY 2017, which mostly matches inflation estimates and continues a multi-year trend of revenue decreases in the industry. Private and public institutions are expected to grow at similar rates but will be hampered by tuition discounts for incoming freshmen, even with total enrollment expected to increase in most regions with the exception of the Midwest. Affordability strategies like tuition caps and reduced appropriations will also limit revenue growth for campuses nationwide. http://www.educationdive.com/news/moodys-predicts-modest-growth-in-tuition-revenue/431367/
