Alabama is 4th from the top on states listed for cuts to higher education since 2008
According to the Center for Budget and Priorities, Alabama has cut its spending for Post Secondary schools (like UAB) since 2008 to fiscal year 2016-2017 by 36.2%. The top 3 are (#3) South Carolina at -37.0% (#2) Louisiana at -39.1% and (#1) Arizona at -55.6%. I guess #22 Mississippi is saying "Thank God for Alabama" at -21.1%.
States "in the black" are Montana at +1.8%, Wisconsin at +3.3%, Wyoming at +21.0% and North dakota at a whopping +46.0%
These figures do not include the state's cuts to K-12 and Post Secondary public education which through 2017 are still $500 million less than 2008.
