States Put The Brakes On Prepaid Tuition Plans
Pamela M. Prah, Stateline.Com, October 6, 2003.

You may recall my somewhat less than warm reception to pre-paid tuition plans several weeks ago. It turns out that I was not the only one to have misgivings and several states have now called a halt to the program before it turns into a nightmare. "The problem... is that states now face double-digit tuition hikes – not the 5 to 7 percent increases that most states banked on when they developed their prepaid plans," creating an actuarial shortfall. Yeah, who could have seen that coming? (Hits Today: 1 Total: 199) [Direct Link] [Tags: Research, Tuition and Student Fees]
