The document discusses challenges facing higher education institutions due to reductions in state funding. It shows that MCC has experienced a decline in state appropriations as a percentage of its funding from 24.4% in 2000 to 7.6% in 2012. Graphs illustrate how MCC's state aid funding has decreased in actual dollars from $35 million in 2000 to under $20 million currently, failing to keep pace with inflation. The document suggests that declining state support is forcing schools to rely more heavily on tuition and fees from students, driving up costs.
