Income Share Agreement Update

Posted on

Income Share Agreements (ISAs) have grown in popularity in recent years. They have been lauded by some as a solution to the student debt crisis, and criticized by others for further complicating the education finance market. Given the continued interest in ISAs, we have updated our 2016 brief on the topic. Here are some key takeaways:

  • While our 2016 brief compared ISAs to the federal Income Based Repayment (IBR) plan, it is now clear that ISAs聽typically supplement subsided loans rather than replace them, and are thus better compared to private loans than public loans.
  • More colleges and universities have begun offering ISAs directly, as have more coding academics and other non-traditional institutions.
  • Some members of the Washington state legislature introduced a bill that would create an ISA pilot program and establish ISA regulations for Washington state. There continues to be interest in ISAs on a federal level but also within our state.

For more information and to read the updated brief, please see our OPB Briefs page.

Two New OPB Briefs: Resident Undergraduate Tuition Trends and Net Price

Posted on

OPB has released two new briefs.

The focuses on trends in Resident Undergraduate (RUG) tuition rates and state funding environments across the United States, based on the most recent 鈥�鈥� report, which is released by the College Board each year. The report identifies Washington as the only state to have lower RUG tuition and fee rates than it did five years ago.

The report serves as a basis for a deep dive into the funding environments of some other case studies. The brief looks at Louisiana, Florida and Ohio as comparisons to Washington, as they are the three other states whose legislatures retain RUG tuition setting authority. Despite this fact, each state has had a variety of outcomes regarding tuition policy. California and Maine are also highlighted as case study comparisons because they are the only two other states to show a decrease in tuition over the past five years, though theirs are due to inflation-adjusted tuition freezes.

The is an updated version of previous 鈥淧ublished Price vs. Net Price鈥� briefs, which reflects the newest available data. The brief includes sector-wide data on increases in published price and net price for public and private four-year colleges, a description of how declining state investment in higher education has spurred tuition increases, and a table comparing the UW鈥檚 net price net price for resident undergraduates receiving grant or scholarship aid to its U.S. News & World Report top 25 research university peers.

Finally, it is with subdued excited that to announce that聽these two briefs and blog post will be my last contribution to OPB as an intern.聽I am graduating tomorrow聽from the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance,聽while taking a job down at the State Capitol in Olympia. Thanks to all for reading!
