Abstract | Using data for 428 individual campuses in all 50 states, it is shown that state government funding and tuition and fee revenues at public universities depend on both political end economic factors. State government funding varies depending on the relative size of various interest groups in each state, as well as the ability of public universities to present a united front when dealing with the state government. Differences in state government funding at specific campusses reflect differences in the net political benefits to political officials from the supply of instruction, academic research and public service. Net tuition and fee revenues are higher at campusses that receive less state government funding, but also higher in states where public universities have more financial autonomy. The price of attending college thus depends in part on whether the relevant decision makers are state government officials or university administrators. (DIPF/orig.) |
