ASU students sound off on student loan forgiveness as SCOTUS decides its fate

Higher cost of college is result of taxpayer decisions, says expert economist.

In this article published Feb. 28, 2023, on Fox 10 Phoenix:

College is much more expensive today than it was … A large part of that is because taxpayers have decided through the legislature that they are not going to support higher education through public universities. As a result, education costs have to be passed onto the consumers of those costs, and that’s the students.
