Abstract
Private higher education in North Carolina and all over the nation is experiencing increasing financial difficulty. Educational costs are rising more rapidly than the national economy because the greatest expenditures of educational institutions are for items with steeper-than-average price rises. Because of these financial straits, institutions have been forced to raise tuition and fees beyond the means of most North Carolina families; therefore, underenrollment is increasing the money troubles on private campuses. This report presents the broad scope of this situation, recommendations to the presidents of private institutions in North Carolina, and recommendations to the Governor and the General Assembly.
