When the tuition differentials and 15% increases were first proposed for the state universities the explanation was to improve the colleges and make them better while getting tuition fees charged closer to national averages. Unfortunately, the increases are only helping the universities stay afloat, not improving them. Too, budget and money woes today with the off economy mean less money is available at the state universities in the form of financial aid for needy students. With the tuition increases and less financial aid, many students and their families are going to have to stretch even more to pay for college or adjust their higher education plans.
