Seven Ideas About Higher Education Finance
1. Higher education is moving toward a privatized funding model
2. Prices are increasing faster than costs3. Money does not follow the students4. Benefits are one of the biggest cost drivers5. Higher education is competing with health care costs – and
losinglosing6. External stakeholders are skeptical about higher education
spending and performance7. Allocations within campuses/systems matter as much as
allocations overall to higher education

State Of West VirginiaMajor Funding Challenge
Medicaid
Provides insurance coverage for 415,000 West Virginians (over 22%) (State's poorest & most disabled)
For every $1 the State invests, the Federal government matches about $3 (72.62%)
State funding has increased from $334 million in 1995 to $820 million in 2012
Federal funding has increased from $1 billion in 1995 to $2 2 billion in 2012Federal funding has increased from $1 billion in 1995 to $2.2 billion in 2012
Costs cannot be controlled with budget restrictions or caps
Operates as an entitlement program - eligible if you meet the established criteria

New Federal Health Care - effective 2014 - mandates coverage up to 133% FPA
National Fiscal Concerns
State support for higher education decreased nationwide by 7.6%.pp g y(from FY11 to FY12) (WV +1.7%)
Illinois - just 6 years from exhausting its pension fund.(Illinois spends more on retired teachers $5.7B than on current students $4.6B)
California - continues budget shortfalls even with tax increases.(1.5 million more residents moved out of the state than moved into from 2000-2009)
Nationwide Public Retirement Systems – The number of retirees is growing 5 times faster than the number of working members.
Federal Government borrows $3.5 Billion a day.
Federal Government's accumulated debt is $15.8 TRILLION.(debt per citizen $50,600, debt per taxpayer $139,400)
