The Setting of Tuition in Public Higher Education
Rusk, James J.; Leslie, Larry L.
Journal of Higher Education, 49, 6, 531-47, Nov/Dec 78
Determinants of tuition prices in major state universities are identified in this study. Twenty-two variables accounted for 89 percent of the variation in 1976-77 tuition levels. Primary determinants were related to competition--tuition prices at institutions within the state or region--and to shortfalls in institutional income. (Author/LBH)
