the claim

State funding cuts caused college tuition increases.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that state funding cuts caused college tuition increases?

Partly. One report states that reductions in state appropriations resulted in higher tuition and fees, and another links public funding austerity to tuition hikes. A congressional report, however, denies that state budget cuts are simply the cause of tuition increases.
