Fee hikes will put off poor, says US report

Article Abstract:

Many universities in the United States are vastly increasing their tuition fees, a move that threatens to make higher education too expensive for large numbers of Americans, according to the "College Affordability in Jeopardy" report produced by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education. The report asserts that the combination of a decline in government support for public universities and an increase in enrolment has resulted in "the worst fiscal news for public higher education institutions and their students in at least a decade", with the end result being that students are having to pay more but are getting less in return.

Report attacks US standards

Article Abstract:

US universities and colleges are expecting a government report due this month to criticise the effectiveness and price of higher education and recommend changes to lower costs and improve access and accountability. The report is by the National Commission on the Future of Higher Education which was set up in 2006 to address the relative slide of America in higher education attainment compared with other industrialised nations.

Decline in foreign scholars hits US

Article Abstract:

Educators say the US must streamline the student visa system urgently in an effort to reverse the falling numbers of overseas students. Educators want US leaders to make a commitment similar to that of Tony Blair which calls for UK universities to recruit an extra 10,000 international students in the next five years.
