Total Educational Revenues Per Full-Time Equivalent Student
Why is this important?
This measure is an indicator of the overall resources available for general operating expenses in the state's higher education system. High levels do not guarantee quality.

What are the policy implications?
The level of support for higher education and the shares to be borne by the various funders, especially the state and students
