Declining Support for Public Universities

Here is a link to a recent analysis of financial support by state governments in the US for "public" universities.  It shows clearly that students are being asked to pick up an ever greater part of the cost of education, though this has also required cut-backs where tuition increases are not enough.  Canada is less dire, but seems to be moving in the same direction, so we need to think hard about what we do in response to this trend.
