Green, a native of Mineral Ridge, Ohio, who graduated from Wrig

29、ht State in June.The son and grandson of factory workers, he was exactly the type of student that Wright State had been established to serve - and the type that it is having more and more trouble serving.Mr. Green says he could not have stayed in his hometown and found work because too many of the l

30、ocal factories have closed and "there are no jobs." He saw earning a degree in management-information systems as the key to making a decent living, and he had come to Wright State because it was more affordable than the other colleges that he considered.The problem for many Wright State st

31、udents is that "affordable" is becoming a relative term in public higher education. As is generally the case in periods of economic stagnation, even the least-expensive public colleges have been hitting their students with one hefty tuition increase after another.Wright State still charges

32、 less than 9 of Ohio's 13 public universities, and its recent tuition increases are in line with those adopted byotherpublic four-year colleges around the nation.Butafter severalconsecutive years of double-digit or near-double-digit tuition increases, it costs nearly 50 percent more for in-state

33、 undergraduates to enroll here than it did four years ago. Most will pay over $6,000 in tuition for the 2004-5 academic year, which gets under way this week.The easiest choices for policy makers in an economic downturn are often the ones that cause tuition to rise. Lawmakers would much rather reduce

34、 state spending than raise taxes to close budget gaps caused by a sour economy. And because public colleges have an alternative source of revenue - tuition - it is easier for lawmakers to cut spending on higher education than on most other public services. Meanwhile, many public colleges seem convin

35、ced that it is much better to raise tuition than to eliminate academic programs, trim salaries, or lay off employees.It takes visiting a fairly typical public college like Wright State to see that relying on such tuition increases to finance such institutions has real costs, extending well beyond th

36、e dollar figures that show up on students' tuition bills.In an interview here last spring, Mr. Green said he expected to graduate with $25,000 in college-related debt. He was working 30 hours a week on campus just to make ends meet, and his efforts to finance his college education were getting in the way of his efforts to learn. "I Exercise B:1. David Gree
