Question

in the document you just read, which statements help to explain the rising cost of higher education? check all that apply
state subsidies for public institutions of been reduced.
larger government grants have made higher education less affordable.
increased administrative and maintenance costs.
government funding of public institutions has doubled over the past five years.
increased spending on student services including counseling and academic programs.

Explanation:

To determine which statements explain rising higher education costs:

• State subsidies reduced: Less public funding means institutions may raise tuition.
• Larger government grants less affordable: Contradicts (grants should help affordability).
• Increased admin/maintenance costs: Higher operational costs drive up prices.
• Government funding doubled: More funding would likely lower costs, not raise.
• Increased student services spending: More spending on services increases overall costs.

Answer:

• State subsidies for public institutions of been reduced.
• Increased administrative and maintenance costs.
• Increased spending on student services including counseling and academic programs.

(Note: The first option has a typo ("of been" likely "have been"), but the logic holds. The correct statements are those that increase costs or reduce funding support.)
