Not really. State funding has stayed at the same level, even grown, but tuition has just grown at a much faster rate

If the schools are not raising tuition because of their funding cuts then why are they? Why does every article I see discuss the massive funding cuts as the man driver? What’s the main driver to you? Do you think it’s adjunct salaries?
You can look at the numbers yourself. If funding fell by, let’s say 10%, and tuition rose by, lets say 30%, then we should be able to agree that there are other potentially larger factors driving up the sticker price. My guess is admin costs and larger federal subsidies

As to why the media only seems to focus on the state funding story... well, I find myself asking the same question
-
Maybe it’s because the cuts have been so drastic
