- marknutter 13y agoA decrease in state funding isn't the same thing as making student loans cheap and easy to obtain. As long as students can keep drawing larger and larger student loans the cost of tuition will continue to rise. After all, the Universities aren't on the hook if the student can't pay back the loan.
- nerfhammer 13y agoClearly if the relationship between funding and tuition were positive this would be taken as strong positive evidence.
