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.
