Funding for Higher Education

The topic:
State and Federal funding levels for Higher Education are constrained and unpredictable. Public institutions have been hit very hard by State budget cutbacks. Federal support of public and private universities is at risk as well. Private colleges will also continue to feel the effects of budget constraints. Rising costs, market limits on tuition increases, reduced private giving; cuts in allowable Federal research overhead costs and reduced State financial support for students will have a significant impact on both public institutions and private colleges.
Long-term prospects for State Higher Education funds are not favorable. Higher Education faces increasing competition from other State agencies especially K-12, Medicaid and Prisons. Shrinking capital dollars, for construction maintenance and repair are often ignored in State budgets. Lack of funds to construct or renovate buildings for classrooms or research may be a bigger constraint on the institutions ability to accommodate enrollment growth than are the state appropriations for operating expenses. Technology costs will be at least as high as traditional ways of delivering instruction for the foreseeable future. Federal funding is critical to Higher Education in two areas: Student Financial Aid and funding for Research. The current Federal budget issues and the rising National Debt threaten both areas on an annual basis. There is strong pressure to reduce, if not eliminate the budget deficit without increasing taxes, making the threat to students and research very real.
