Abstract	This issue of "Policy Insights" reviews the results from WICHE's (Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education's) annual survey of tuition and fees at public colleges and universities in the region. Complete data are available in "Tuition and Fees in Public Higher Education in the West, 2007-08: Detailed Tuition and Fees Tables," published by WICHE in November 2007 and available at www.wiche.edu/policy. The survey on which the report and this policy brief are based is administered to state higher education executive offices or system offices in most states. Respondents are invited to correct previous years' data, and the averages calculated are not weighted by enrollments. The survey instrument included two questions concerning differential tuition pricing policies and practices. There is growing evidence (mostly anecdotal) that institutions are resorting to differential tuition in an effort to both maximize and stabilize their tuition revenue stream. In particular, they see such policies as a reasonable strategy to counter the unpredictability and inconsistency of state appropriations levels. (Contains 4 figures, 1 table and 11 endnotes.) (ERIC).
