Green, a native of Mineral Ridge, Ohio, who graduated from Wright State in June.The son and grandson of factory workers, he was exactly the type of student that Wright State had been established to serve - and the type that it is having more and more trouble serving.Mr. Green says he could not have stayed in his hometown and found work because too many of the local factories have closed and "there are no jobs." He saw earning a degree in management-information systems as the key to making a decent living, and he had come to Wright Statebecause it was more affordable than the other colleges that he considered.The problem for many Wright State students is that "affordable" is becoming a relative term in public higher education. As is generally the case in periods of economic stagnation, even the least-expensive publiccolleges have been hitting their students with one hefty tuition increaseafter another.Wright State still charges less than 9 of Ohios 13 public universities,and its recent tuition increases are in line with those adopted byotherpublicfour-yearcollegesaroundthenation.Butafterseveralconsecutive years of double-digit or near-double-digit tuition increases,it costs nearly 50 percent more for in-state undergraduates to enroll herethan it did four yearsago. Most will pay over $6,000intuitionforthe2004-5 academic year, which gets under way this week.The easiest choices for policy makers in an economic downturn areoften the ones that cause tuition to rise. Lawmakers would much ratherreduce state spending than raise taxes to close budget gaps caused by asour economy. And because public colleges have an alternative sourceof revenue- tuition- it is easierforlawmakerstocutspendingonhigher education than on most other public services. Meanwhile, manypubliccollegesseemconvinced thatit ismuchbetter toraisetuitionthan to eliminate academic programs, trim salaries, or lay off employees.It takes visiting a fairly typical public college like Wright State to seethatrelyingonsuchtuitionincreasestofinancesuchinstitutionshasrealcosts,extendingwellbeyondthedollar figuresthatshowuponstudents tuition bills.In an interview here last spring, Mr. Green said he expected to graduatewith $25,000 in college-related debt. He was working 30 hours a week oncampusjusttomakeends meet, and his effortsto financehiscollegeeducation were getting in the way of his efforts tolearn. "IExercise B:1.

The problem for many Wright State students is that "affordable" is becoming a relative term in public higher education.3. After several consecutive years of double-digit ornear-double-digit tuition increases, it costs nearly 50percent more for in-state undergraduates to enroll here than it did four years ago.4.
