Nebraska Revised Statute § 85-1416(2)(c) requires the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education (CCPE) to prepare biennially the "Tuition, Fees, and College Affordability Report." College affordability is an important component of the Commission's "Comprehensive Statewide Plan for Postsecondary Education," which includes a major statewide goal that states that Nebraska postsecondary institutions and policymakers will collaborate to ensure that lack of financial resources will not prevent students from accessing and completing postsecondary education in a timely manner without unreasonable student debt. This report studies the public policy issues relating to tuition and fees for students attending Nebraska's public postsecondary institutions. In an effort to understand the context of college affordability, this report will address the statewide level by comparing Nebraska to the 49 other states and the campus level by comparing each Nebraska institution to its commission-determined peer institutions. The comparisons made between Nebraska's campuses and their respective peer institutions will offer valuable information for both decision makers and the public. For analysis of state and campus-level contexts of affordability, the CCPE has relied on national data sources, particularly data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System's (IPEDS) Student Financial Aid Survey (SFA). The report concludes with policy and budgetary recommendations to maintain Nebraska's competitive position on tuition and fees and to improve affordability for all students and their families.
