| Abstract: |
Fully understanding accessibility and affordability among postsecondary opportunities in the US requires addressing prices (i.e., tuition, fees, and other expenses, as well as student aid) and having an accurate picture of institutional finances. Information about how higher education institutions' revenues and expenditures have changed and how patterns vary across types of institutions provides a foundation for improving student opportunities. Building on the conceptual approach of the Delta Cost Project, this report uses the Urban Institute's adjustment of data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) to examine institutional finance patterns from fall 2004 through fall 2019 (fiscal year 2005 through fiscal year 2020) at public four-year, public two-year, private nonprofit, and, where possible, for-profit institutions. It also explores the differences among bachelor's, master's, and doctoral institutions within the public and private nonprofit four-year sectors. Although IPEDS finance data are now available through fiscal year 2022, this report focuses on fall 2004 through fall 2019 to avoid the introduction of temporary responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and to call attention to prepandemic trends in institutional finance that may continue as these temporary measures dissipate. |
