Abstract
The current economic slowdown has caused a significant decrease in government funding of postsecondary education. On the other hand, due to high unemployment, the demand for higher education has grown. We use quantitative data analysis to examine the effects of these two factors on enrollment, tuition and college participation rates at state universities in Michigan.
