In 2023, public colleges and universities in the United States experienced the largest decrease in tuition revenue per student since records began in 1980, with net tuition-and-fee revenue per full-time equivalent student reported at $7,353. This decline was attributed to a significant drop in enrollments, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, as noted by SHEEO policy analyst Kelsey Kunkle. Despite this, state higher education funding increased by 3.7% beyond inflation, reaching levels 6.7% higher than those in 2008. The State Higher Education Executive Officers Association highlighted that tuition revenue, although declining, remained 179.6% higher than the $2,629 recorded in 1980. Additionally, NCES reported Pennsylvania's 2022 revenue per student at $22,544, marking it as the 7th highest in the nation.
