That report makes some interesting points about the increasing role of student loan debt covering the rise in tuition. They don&#x27;t really suggest what universities should do though, it&#x27;s more state-level reform: standardize admissions and credit transfer, bring primary and secondary education up to par... How do you propose getting costs under control?<p>Interestingly, the OP (the chronicle) states that the cut in state funding per student is 25% since 2000 vs 10% over 2003--2012 (citing dept of Ed). I wonder where the writer for the chronicle got their data? I still think the OP makes some valid points.
