公立大學必須成為公眾信任的對象，擔任好學生和納税人資金的管家。他們應該為成本控制和當務之急的花費(36)負起責任：而此當務之急就是使學生做好準備成為積極的學習者，事業心滿滿的忙碌公民。他們正在採取各種策略精簡開支，以確保其經費(37)擔負得起日常開銷。主要包括以下措施：(38) 消減行政管理的開支，取消低入學率的項目和學生資助服務，節約能源管理和員工衞生保健的`成本。

快速上漲的學費或許會讓人們覺得機構開支似乎已經不受(39)控制。然而近年來，公立大學中每一個全日制學生的集體(40)消費水平其實是偏低的。

逐步增加學費的主要原因在於，國家為學生預留的開支已經轉移到公共高等教育的陣營。現在，各州已經逐步從公共高等教育系統(41)減盜，在這一方面家庭也做出了不少貢獻。各機構也首次致力於減少開支，因為只有學費漲價才能(42)維持學術質量。

未來，緩和學費上漲的最佳途徑就是領導人重新對公共高等教育進行投資。大蕭條期間，各州為公立學院和大學提供的(43)資金明顯減少，而在徹底擺脱大蕭條後，今年國家領導人開始重新投資公共高等教育，增加了6%的資金投入。

(44)想方設法維持公立大學經費的正常運轉，對於國家的經濟安全、社會公正和民間活力都是至關重要的。政府和公立大學應該(45)義不容辭地確保這一切正常發生。
