"You’re probably seeing ads for “back to college” sales everywhere. For some families, these ads are just another reminder that earning a college degree is becoming less affordable every day. While many students turn to public colleges and universities to keep costs down, that's still pretty expensive for New Jersey students. In fact, just this week the Star-Ledger noted that it is more expensive for New Jersey students to attend college in-state than it is for students in 47 other states.
Of course, you can’t place the blame on any individual person for decades of rising higher education costs. But we should hold our leaders accountable when their actions contribute to the costs of getting a degree. Over the past four years, Governor Chris Christie’s actions have made it harder for our families to afford a high quality education at one of New Jersey’s public colleges or universities. "
