Unfortunately,I think this type of quote has led most politicians and many
of the public to view higher ed as a private good:  if it leads to
individual economic advancement, those who get the reward should be required
to invest in, and pay for the cost of their education thorough tuition and
fees.

If you want some more hair-raising statistics of where Idaho ranks, check
out a column in yesterday's Statesman:
