For a state that leads the nation in spending per capita on K-12 education, rising tuition and shrinking capacity in New Jersey colleges should not be accepted, the chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee said Thursday.
“There is no long-term plan for higher education,” Assemblyman Louis Greenwald, D-Camden, told representatives of New Jersey’s state colleges and universities. We need to “reverse this trend of higher tuition and reverse migration out.”
Acting Gov. Codey has proposed a $50 million, or 2.5 percent, increase in state spending on higher education for fiscal year 2006, which begins July 1.
The budget plan cuts direct aid to four-year schools slightly, mostly by eliminating programs added by the Legislature. Overall spending on four-year public institutions is up due to indirect state support such as payments for workers’ fringe benefits.
