Abstract
Using multivariate statistical techniques and selected interviews this study explores relationships between tuition levels at public institu tions, state subsidies for public institutions, and state financial ai d programs. Results indicate few states are systematically addressing issues of affordability. There are no statistical relationships betwee n these key variables. Possible explanations for these findings are ex plored.
