The burden of financing higher education has shifted from the state to the student since the turn of the century, both in Colorado and across the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2000-01, the state covered 68 percent of a student's cost of higher education, while students and families were responsible for 32 percent. By FY 2011-12, those numbers had effectively reversed: students and families were covering two-thirds of the costs while the state paid only a third. Although General Fund investment has since increased, the split has remained largely the same--in FY 2018-19, the state-student split is 36 to 64 percent effectively. Although Colorado is a particularly striking example of this shift in postsecondary cost burden, other states have also disinvested from higher education due to budget pressures. As states disinvest from higher education, the economic necessity of a postsecondary credential has increased. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education's Master Plan, "Colorado Rises," sets a goal that by 2025, 66 percent of Colorado's adult population will earn some type of postsecondary credential to meet the needs of Colorado's dynamic economy. In accordance with C.R.S. § 23-1-105.5(2), this report provides detailed information on the tuition and fee rates that Colorado public institutions of higher education charged to resident and non-resident students in Fiscal Year 2016-17 and is organized into the following sections: (1) Definitions; (2) Key Findings; (3) The Process of Tuition Setting and the Relationship to Costs; (4) A Summary of Tuition and Fee Changes in the 2018-19 Academic Year; (5) Interstate Comparisons; and (6) Appendices which provide detailed examples and comparisons across institution type, student groups and year to year comparisons.
