Free Tuition Doesn’t Mean Free College Students Point Out - 2018

Editor’s Note: Last year, Hispanic Outlook reported on the then fledgling Excelsior Scholarship and its potential impact on students pursuing higher education in New York State. As part of our coverage, we ran a story courtesy of the Associate Press about how the program covering tuition fees does not equal zero costs when it comes to college. Now, with the Excelsior Scholarship solidly integrated into the academic landscape of New York State, it is time to revisit these concerns as part of Book Marks, our throw back feature that demonstrates how predictive some of our past features have been in forecasting upcoming trends and issues in education.

The Funding Paradox In Today’s Higher Education <b> by William Ruiz-Morales </b>

Last year, for the first time, 28 states in the U.S. reported that more than 50 percent of the funds of higher education institutions were generated from tuition and not from state or local funds.1 Also, even when state support has been increasing since the recession in 2008, this year’s growth was only 1.6 percent, the lowest in the past five years. These statistics among others are evidence of a tendency to withdraw taxpayers’ funds from universities especially public ones. The institutions that are more impacted are generally the ones more in need of those funds. The cuts in state funding tend to affect mainly public universities due to smaller endowments than private institutions.
