According to this http://www.higheredinfo.org/dbrowser/index.php?submeasure=68&year=2011&level=nation&mode=data&state=0 http://www.higheredinfo.org/dbrowser/index.php?submeasure=68...
total inflation-adjusted revenue per student went from $5,846 in 1991 to $11,016 in 2011.
- barake 13y agoI'm not sure the linked data is correct. The charts from the 2012 SHEEO report [1] shows revenue/student increasing from $10,869 in 1991 to $11,095 in 2012 (these are 2012 dollars). Here is the page with links to the 2012 report and data: http://www.sheeo.org/node/631 http://www.sheeo.org/node/631 [1] http://www.sheeo.org/sites/default/files/publications/All%20States%20Wavechart%202012%20REV20130322.pdf http://www.sheeo.org/sites/default/files/publications/All%20...
- bcoates 13y agoI think you're right, something's wrong with my source. I'm not sure the SHEEO number's usable "raw", as it uses its own ad-hoc inflation calculation (HECA) instead of CPI or GDP, but even correcting for that I can't reproduce the numbers in the NCHEMS site from its supposed source.
- treyp 13y agoThat comparison becomes $9,644 in 1991 to $11,016 in 2011 when adjusting for inflation: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=5846+1991+dollars+in+2011+dollars http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=5846+1991+dollars+in+20...
