College
Tuition Outline
Introduction:
I am going to start off the article by stating some basic statistics of the
rise of college tuition. Intertwined in
the introduction I will have a graphic that shows trends of college tuition
over the last 10 years. This will
include that college tuition has risen 5.1% since 2001. Funding
from State University's has fallen by 21 percent nationally. Public funding has dropped by 14.6% since the recession. Average price
after grants for tuition has risen about 33.1 percent. Pell grants
are blamed for driving costs up because when lower income students receive
federal funding to attend college, some argue that institutions raise their
prices to reflect the aid of the federal government. Lastly, decrease
in state and local funding of public universities is seen to be the main issue
by economists, especially after the recession. This causes students to take out
bigger loans that will be burdensome in the future. I will then go into how these issues
are affecting students and how they finance their college tuition. This can include taking out more loans and
higher rates of students going to community college for 2 years and then transferring
to larger universities. After giving a
brief overview of the issue at hand, I will narrow my intro into what I am
going to be talking about specifically.
This will include the price of the educator and the price of credibility
behind what students are learning. I
will address the main reasons state funding has been cut nationally. Lastly I will address President Obama’s plan
to cut college tuition in half in the next decade by looking into alternative
education arena’s that could make this possible.
