"As this report will detail, we found significant evidence that public higher education in Virginia is falling well short in its efforts to meet broader national goals of increasing overall educational attainment and narrowing the gaps that exist in educational levels between students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Declining state appropriations and increasing reliance on tuition revenue have substantially increased the cost of public higher education to Virginia students, and the trend has accelerated since the Great Recession that began in 2007"--P. 6.
