Abstract

Should public universities turn private because of the government budget cuts which gives less money to state school's budgets? The articles and books i write about show how state governments can help fix the issues of state budget cuts to the point that private industries and the government can work together.

This research paper I have written over the last semester has influenced me to think that the government has many flaws when it comes to higher education. I feel like everyone should have the chance to have a higher education but the government does not care as much about that because of the huge deficit cuts. I feel like we need to change the way we think about education because its very crucial to every single citizen of this country. It makes me think about how maybe my major, economics, can help change what is going on in this country.

My case is that I feel that privatization is a very risky business to state universities but if you handle your investments the right way it will be a total success.
