Explain It Like I'm Five (ELI5) Thread

Neither do I. I think the real answer is most complicated that just amenities and sports programs. But articles like this say that public funding hasn’t decreased in real dollars. I have no reason to dispute this information, though I do know that GSU in particular lost some funding during the recession (if I recall correctly.) I mean, I know that our tax priorities are all fucked up, and I wouldn’t be surprised to find out this Op-Ed is wrong or misleading, but the simple fact is I don’t have a good baseline knowledge of how any of this works and I, like most people, rely on whatever pops up in the media. So, I’m easily misled.
