This report aims to pinpoint the cause(s) of spiraling tuition by taking a deep dive into public university revenue and spending data from the National Center for Education Statistics Delta Cost Project Database. The authors split public 4-year universities into two categories: research institutionsschools that have a high level of research activity and award a significant number of doctoratesand masters and bachelors universitiesschools that primarily award masters and/or bachelors degrees. They found that declining state appropriations for higher education is indeed the primary driver of rising tuition, responsible for 79 percent of tuition hikes at public research universities between 2001 and 2011 and 78 percent of tuition hikes at public masters and bachelors universities over the same decade. ; Demos
