Higher education in Wisconsin received high grades in several areas but, like most states, it flunked when it comes to affordability of colleges and universities in a national report released today.
The report gave Wisconsin an A in completion of higher education, A-minus in participation, B-plus in preparation, B-minus in benefits, and F in affordability.
It found a continuing racial gap, with 37 out of 100 whites aged 18-24 enrolled in college, compared with 25 of 100 from other groups.
