Some rare good news for state spending on higher education: A new survey by the National Conference of State Legislatures concludes that tax revenues are projected to rise in 40 states in the 2011 fiscal year, with Colorado, Oregon, and Washington predicting increases of more than 10 percent. Fourteen other states now expect revenues to climb from 5 percent to 10 percent, and 23 states project growth of 1 percent to 5 percent. Of the 47 states that responded to the survey, only Alaska expected tax revenues to fall this fiscal year, by 6 percent, because of a decline in oil prices.

Despite this report college tuitions will go up but state contributions to higher education will go down, admins will make more, and the students and the faculty will confront the consequences.Anyone who went to a public college before 2000, who votes to restrict public funding is basically stealing the previous generation who paid for their educaiton just like they, college graduates before 2000, should be paying for this generation.The problem is that the yuppies are the most spoiled generation in recent history.
