Colorado No Fan Of Higher Education

New data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows the state had the third-lowest state and local tax support for public higher education in the nation between 2005 and 2008. Colorado spent $4,213 per student, and Wyoming led the nation with $15,151[.]

Vermont and New Hampshire are at the bottom.

The situation looks unlikely to improve in the years to come, as Colorado's budget process puts higher education in a vulnerable position when, as now, funds are scarce.
