“The need for a college education is even more important now than it was before, …” — Roy Romer

This nation has been drifting back in comparison with the rest of the world for the last 20 years in education.

But you take a four-year state college, with a broader range of admission, and what happens during those four years may be an even greater value-added educational experience. I don't know.

Enrollment in Colorado is expected to expand about 25 percent in seven years. It's very difficult to find those additional funds. Therefore, I think you're probably going to have increased pressure on tuition.

I think the big force is going to be consumer buying power.
