Majority in survey say college cost big problem
San Francisco Chronicle
November 13, 2008
More than half of Californians say that paying for college is a big problem, according to a new survey of 2,503 parents and other adults conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California. They are losing confidence in the government's ability to maintain the quality of public colleges and universities, the survey found. As a result, many Californians believe that higher education is increasingly beyond their grasp at a time when college has never been more necessary, the survey found.
