The Impact of the Great Recession on Public Colleges - Elizabeth Baylor and Antoinette Flores, Center for American Progress

We have measured the direct state investment in and enrollment at public universities and community colleges since the Great Recession. Information about each state is presented to support the need for a restored state-federal partnership in postsecondary education to ensure that high-quality programs remain affordable and a central tenant of the American Dream. See the link below for an interactive map of states' funding of higher education overall and per student. http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/higher-education/news/2014/10/27/99667/the-impact-of-the-great-recession-on-public-colleges/
