U.S. Flunks Higher Education Affordability



By JUSTIN POPE, AP Education Writer

A new, independent report card flunks America's colleges in a key subject for many students and parents: affordability.


While noting progress in areas such as student preparation, the biennial study by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education drops the country to an "F" in affordability from the "D" it received in the nonprofit group's report two years ago.


Among individual states, only California, Utah and Minnesota earned higher than a "D." California still had the top grade of any state, but its "A" from 2002 fell to a "B" in the latest report after sharp tuition increases.

...education will once again be the province of the Rich.

Back to the 1890s. Perhaps back to the 1590s.
