An area of state government responsibility is running state supported higher education institutions such as state universities including funding them. In your judgment, how well are states doing in managing how they run state universities – particularly in terms of their access and affordability? For example, here is some research from the Urban Institute on state-level funding of higher education (Links to an external site.) to consider. Are there other issues in how state universities are run that are important to you? What would you like to see state governments do differently in how they run state universities and why? Discuss. Further, do you see a role for the federal government in running state universities in the way the feds have gotten involved in K-12 education with the No Child Left Behind Act? Why/why not? Discuss.
