UNDATED (AP) - An independent report on American higher education flunks North Carolina and 48 other states when it comes to affordability.
It amounts to an embarrassing verdict that's unlikely to improve as the economy contracts.
The biennial study by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education evaluates how well higher education is serving the public. It handed out "F"s for affordability to every state except California.
North Carolina scored a "B-minus" for preparation and completion, a "D-plus" for college participation and a "C-plus" in a category that measures benefits from higher education. But it got an "F" for affordability.
North Carolnia's preparation grade benefitted from having the country's highest rate of enrolling high school students in upper-level math.
