"A study conducted over the past year of 44 private, tuition-dependent New England schools that enroll between 1,000 and 8,000 students, reveals that the threat facing colleges and universities could be much more pervasive." https://t.co/h3cGBmYyv1

In-state tuition for a public university is down to $11,610 a year, compared to $12,140 a decade ago. After grant aid is applied, the average student would pay $2,480, a decrease from the 2014-2015 school year, when that amount totaled $4,140.
