State and local funding for higher education dropped 7 percent in the 2012 fiscal year, The New York Times reported. According to a report from the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association, per-student support dropped 9 percent from the previous year to a 25-year low of $5,896. The share of public university revenues from fees and tuition climbed to 47 percent in the past year, an increase from 23 percent in 1987.

Harvard University is in the midst of a campus-wide debate after the Harvard College Palestine Solidarity Committee posted a series of mock eviction notices on students' doors, The Harvard Crimson reported. The flyers, posted in several dormitories, notified students that their rooms were "scheduled for demolition in the next three days." The notices intended to mimic the displacement that the committee believes Palestinians experience at the hands of the Israeli government. The poster campaign is part of a larger effort to publicize the annual Harvard Israeli Apartheid Week, which includes a talk by philosopher Noam Chomsky and the construction of an "apartheid wall" to resemble the highly controversial barrier that is being constructed along the West Bank by the Israeli government. Several students and campus groups have responded to the notices, criticizing the publicity campaign and the apartheid week in general.
