[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]State universities have had a rough decade. The state of Illinois has been paralyzed by a massive budget crisis and it has hit their universities hard. In other states, hostile state legislatures have cut funding or done other things that undermine their higher ed systems. Not all of this affects undergraduate education but some of it definitely does. It's important to be an informed consumer. Look carefully at the finances of the institutions to see just what all that out of state tuition you'd be paying is going toward. Look beyond the marketing materials and pay attention to class sizes, percentage of courses taught by tenure-line faculty, four and six year graduation rates, caps on popular majors, etc. [/quote] ....cuts largely due to Republican governors/state legislatures. People don't realize that when they vote R, they are voting for tuition to go up.[/quote]
