State By State History Of Funding Cuts To Higher Education

This graph shows the huge cuts that have been made in higher education at the state level.  State universities produce the majority of our college graduates.  Spending cuts make it harder for those with low incomes to earn a degree.  This has a big impact on inequality of opportunity.  Those without college degrees are excluded from most higher paying jobs.  It also limits the ability of talented people to achieve their potential in other areas.  Education improves one's life in many ways and it is has become increasingly essential for citizenship in an increasingly complex society.
