"In 1992, the state paid 76 percent of the cost of public higher education in Montana. In 2018, the state is paying 38 percent. What portion of public higher education should the state fund, and why? Should it be closer to 38 percent or 76 percent? Please be specific.
The Montana Legislature has provided funds with a 3 percent increase, which is higher than the actually inflation rate for the past 25-plus years. The Montana University system's spending, which is done by the Board of Regents, needs to be held accountable for the unnecessary spending increases, which widens the gap between funding and spending. I do believe the state should pay closer to 76 percent of cost for public higher education in Montana with the BOR being held accountable for less spending ,which will increase the value of the 38 percent funding we have right now."
