Funding for state colleges continues to attract attention in the press.  An interesting opinion piece appeared in Sunday’s NYTimes.  The author argues that health care budgets and state funding of colleges are related.  Over the decades as state spending on medical programs has increased, funding for higher education has decreased.  If we do a better job funding health care at the federal level, states will be able to offer more support to colleges.  Interesting idea.
