Higher Education not underfunded
Mar6The Nevada Policy Research Institute (NPRI) recently posted higher education spending rankings for 507 public colleges and universities in a database created by the Education Trust, a left-of-center think tank on higher education. The rankings include 3 categories of per pupil spending, “Instruction spending per full time student,” “education related spending per full time student,” and “education and general spending per full time student.”
According to the rankings compiled by NPRI from the Education Trust’s database, the University of Nevada, Reno ranks as high as 25th in the nation while the University of Nevada, Las Vegas ranks 190th out of more than 500 schools.
NPRI has put to rest the myth that higher education has been chronically underfunded.
