The document discusses proposals to limit rising college tuition costs. It proposes mandating that tuition increases be limited to the rate of inflation or colleges would lose eligibility for federal aid. Specifically, it proposes:
1) Putting a limit on annual tuition increases so they do not exceed the average inflation rate of the past 3 years.
2) If colleges increase tuition beyond this limit, they would be disqualified from receiving all federal funds for the next 5 years, with exemptions for increases under $600 or for colleges with tuition under $6,000.
3) This proposal aims to make college more affordable by curbing tuition growth and shifting power back from colleges to students/consumers. It could impact

t’s an article of faith for higher education poli-
cymakers across the country: while tuition at
four-year colleges is increasing at a dizzying
pace, community colleges offer an affordable
alternative for millions of students.
According to a new report, however, graduating
from a community college — the only affordable avenue
available for millions of
underprivileged and
minority students seeking
a college education — is
becoming out of reach for
growing numbers of stu-
dents as tuition increases
continue to outpace the
rise in family income.
Many states, mean-
while, are reducing higher
education spending as
they struggle to close
yawning budget deficits,
threatening community
college access, especially
for those students who tra-
ditionally have relied on
the 2-year institutions,
according to a report
issued by the National Center for Public Policy and
Higher Education.
“Many students are not able to keep pace with rising
tuition, because family earnings have lost ground over

A Graduating
Report: Costlier Colleges Threaten Access
BY PAUL BRADLEY
Thousands of community college students donned caps and gowns and graduated this spring.
But a new report suggests that the escalating cost of attending community college is limiting access
for students who most rely on the institutions.
“If current
trends
continue,
more students
will be priced
out of higher
education
altogether.”

the past decade,” the report said. “Median
family income, adjusted for inflation,
declined in the United States over the past
decade. At the same time, tuition at two-
and four-year colleges increased at a rate
faster than inflation or family income, and
student financial assistance did not keep
pace, exacerbating the college affordability
and college completion problems.”
“Concerns about college affordability
have most likely been driving many stu-
dents to community colleges. If current
trends continue, more students will be
priced out of higher education altogether,”
the report said.
The report found that tuition rates at
community colleges rose faster than family
income in every state except Maine since
1999. In California, home of the nation’s
largest community college system, the cost
of attending community college increased
77 percent between 1999 and 2009, while
median family income increased just 5 per-
cent, the report said.
Patrick Callan, founder and executive
director of the California-based center, said
the report documents a trend that has been
under way for 30 years. Over that time, the
cost of college has increased even faster
than the cost of health care, and much more
than inflation or family income.
Galloping Increases
The economic downturn has only
worsened the situation and undermines the
country’s goal of producing more college
graduates.

Despite the best efforts of dedicated practitioners, current career guidance practices are failing to prepare youth for career success in the face of the looming perfect storm in job markets. A new, harmonized, whole community approach will be needed.
Universities and colleges must develop new business models to deal with scarce resources, increased demand for productivity and lower tuition, and changing demographics. This presentation to leaders in a major corporation outlines the pressures and the actions that a national higher education association is recommending to the institutions.

Power Shift
Market Characteristic
- Oligopoly, supply leads demand
- Higher competition, higher price

- High tuition does not guarantee high aid
Power shifts from consumer to enterprise
13. College Affordability
“Financial Barriers will prevent at least 4.4 million
high school graduates from attending four-year public
colleges over the next decade, and prevent another
two million high school graduates from attending any
colleges at all.”
(The Congressional Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, 2006)
14. College Affordability
“By 2020, United States once again will have the
highest proportion of higher education graduates
in the world.”
(Obama, 2009)
16. Recent Policies (Federal)
The Higher Education Opportunity Act 0f 2008
Pressure to high tuition by making the list public
- Colleges of highest 5% & lowest 10% tuitions & fees
(exemption : increase is less than $600 for 3 years)
Obligation to disclose for federal funding
- tuition and fees for recent 3 years
- annual % , $ change for recent 3 years
Incentive grants
- lowest 20% of annual increase, lowest quartile (public), less than $600
17. Proposal
Put a limit on Tuition Increase
In the Higher Education Opportunity Act
Do not increase tuition beyond average inflation rate of
recent 3 years
If not, the college will be disqualified for all federal funds for
following 5 years
- Exemption : increase less than $600 or tuition less than $6,000
* 24% students attending in 4-year colleges with below $6,000 a year

19. Howard P.Mckeon’s Proposal
Howard P. (Buck) Mckeon’s Proposal
Original (Mar., 2003) : colleges increasing tuition by twice (or more) the
rate of inflation for two years will lose eligibility
for all federal student-aid programs immediately
Revised (Oct., 2003) : “alert system” of 3 steps before losing eligibility for
campus-based federal aid programs
Dropped (Mar., 2004) :
“I’m delighted to send a strong message to colleges”
20. Howard P.Mckeon’s Proposal
Factors of His Fail (The Chronicle, 2004)
Succumbed to the lobbying from colleges and universities
Failed to build political support even from some Republicans.
Bush administration did not back the bill
Did you know about the Mckeon’s proposal?
21. Strategy for Implementation
