ASCSU Tony Frank October 2010 Draft FY12 Budget Presentation ASCSU Tony Frank October 2010

Take Away Messages from HESP2010: Colorado is an extraordinarily low public support state with relatively low tuition. (Note: the tuition bar on these tables an average of all types of Colorado public higher education and is much smaller relative to peers for the research universities alone.) CU – 22% higher; CCHE Peers – 44%

Take Away Messages: the amount we receive to educate a student has been held remarkably constant over 2 decades – we have controlled costs; what has changed is that 20 years ago we all chipped in to cover 2/3 the cost of an education, and now the individual family pays for 2/3 the cost. In short, we have been privatizing public higher education – we’ve just been doing it slowly and quietly.
