A new report prepared for the National Commission on Financing 21st Century Higher Education has examined the funding difficulties that public institutions of higher education are facing over the next ten years in an effort to create a baseline state funding forecast.
The report, “Crowded Out: The Outlook for State Higher Education Spending,” worked to develop recommendations for policy and funding changes that would help the United States reach its goal of having 60% of the labor force hold either a postsecondary degree or certificate by 2025. In order for this to happen, 62 million Americans need to graduate with such a credential between 2015 and 2025.
