a. The share of all public universities' revenues derived from state and local taxes
declined from 95 percent in 1991 to 80 percent in 2013.
b. Since the recession ended, thirty states are still cutting their appropriations for
higher education, and in all states except New York and Arkansas, higher education funding remains well below pre-recession levels.

not, many students in those states with higher tuition found college to be simply
unaffordable.

to study to understand the material, whereas boys emphasize the final performance.
