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. It also examines significant, interrelated issues facing the state's students and its institutions of higher education, such as the affordability of attending a Nebraska public postsecondary institution, the state's level of investment in higher education, and how that has changed over time. 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). This report also looks at how Nebraska public postsecondary institutions compare to their peer institutions. Comparisons with peer institutions allow each of Nebraska's public postsecondary institutions to assess key indicators in relation to data from similar institutions. 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.
