29、vid A. Gree n, a n ative of Min eral Ridge, Ohio, who graduated from Wright State in June.The son and grandson of factory workers, he was exactly the type of stude nt that Wright State had bee n established to serve - and the type that it is hav ing more and more trouble serv ing.Mr. Gree n says he

30、could not have stayed in his hometow n and found work because too many of the local factories have closed and "there are no jobs."He saw earning a degree in man ageme nt-i nformatio n systems as the key to making a dece nt liv ing, and he had come to Wright State because it was more afford

35、awmakers tocut spe nding on higher educati on tha n on mostother public services. Mean while, many public colleges seem con vin ced that it is much better to raise tuition than to eliminate academic programs, trim salaries, or lay off employees.It takes visiting a fairly typical public college like

36、Wright State to see that rel ying on such tuiti on in creases to finance such in stituti ons has real costs, extending well beyond the dollar figures that show up on students' tuition bills.In an in terview here last spri ng, Mr. Gree n said he expected to graduate with $25,000 in college-related debt.
