In inflation-adjusted dollars, the cost to attend a state college or university in Virginia is down more than two-thousand dollars since the year 2020. The average is now $26,000.

That's one of the findings in a new report on higher education costs from Virginia's Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission.

Dwayne Yancey at Cardinal News has studied the report and he talked about it with Fred Echols.
