      If we’re talking about the rising costs of tuition as a secular problem, we probably need to go back farther than 10 years, no?

      Pick ANY state. I’ll compare the per student higher ed funding from 1980 and compare it to today, adjusted for inflation. I’ll do the homework. Which state and what year would you like?

      We can keep looking at the whole, we should just look for a longer time period. State funding has come down marginally (depending on the years you pick) but that’s obviously not what’s driving the long-term rise in tuitionpic.twitter.com/GZyEoZiOjp

      Are you offering this graph as proof of your assertion that “state funding has grown”???

      This doesn’t even prove it has stayed steady. This graph is evidence against your own statement.

      Not to mention if you made a graph that was only red states it would be wildly different. Because the cuts have been far more severe in red states.

      Whether funding has grown or been cut will depend on what years you pick. My point is that funding has stayed about the same, while tuition has increased substantially. And that means the funding isn’t the main driver of higher tuition

      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

          But again, the cuts are not so drastic when compared to the much more drastic rise in tuition. Eyeballing the graph, tuition about doubled and state funding fell by ~25%pic.twitter.com/0qmevbFk63
