Higher Education Officials Criticized
WEST VIRGINIA...
A legislative audit says West Virginia's higher education officials have done little to ensure a college education remains affordable. The Legislative Auditor's office also says officials can't say how much is enough when deciding what students can afford.
A legislative audit says West Virginia's higher education officials have done little to ensure a college education remains affordable. The Legislative Auditor's office also says officials can't say how much is enough when deciding what students can afford.
The audit was released as part of the Legislature's November interim meetings.
One of the findings reported by the Charleston Daily Mail is that 80 percent of low-income West Virginians can't afford to attend college, and for those who can - many must borrow money to remain in school.
The state Higher Education Policy Commission has been reviewing college costs since the summer of 2009. A report is expected next month.
