This report attempts to define the nature and dimensions of the "college affordability crisis." It covers trends in college costs, student ability to pay, and some of the ways in which affordability problems are being addressed. The report finds that while annual growth in college costs has slowed, cost continues to exceed growth in family income and in the Consumer Price Index, but it notes that high tuition is not universal. It discusses student and family concerns about affordability and debt burdens on students after they leave college.It also notes that institutional reactions to these concerns include an increase in college-supported student aid. In looking at why college costs are rising, it notes that one factor is reduced growth in state funding, but also finds that an increasing number of private four-year colleges discount tuition. The report also discusses changes in federal student aid; looks at other explanations for the growth in tuition, including colleges' financial conditions; reviews policymakers' positions and views on affordability; and gives examples of how the media looks at affordability. Appendix tables provide comparative tuition data vis-a-vis income and enrollment, and grant aid as a percentage of total costs. (Contains 60 references.) (CH)

This volume provides a comprehensive and evenhanded overview of the escalating college affordability crisis in the United States. It explains how higher education became so expensive and explores the implications of high college loan debt for students and American society. The 21st Century Turning Point series is a one-stop resource for understanding the people and events changing America today. Each volume provides readers with a clear, authoritative, and unbiased understanding of a single issue or event that is driving national debate about our country's leaders, institutions, values, and priorities. This particular volume is devoted to the issue of the rising cost of higher education in the United States. The expense of pursuing a college degree has become so high for so many students, in fact, that the country is experiencing what many educators, economists, parents, and students describe as a college affordability crisis. This work provides an accessible, accurate account of the factors driving this trend, including dramatic reductions in higher education spending by states; for-profit colleges; predatory, unscrupulous, and lightly regulated student loan service companies; and spiraling spending by colleges and universities competing to attract students.
