04.04.2009: Higher Education in Colorado

So this past week we saw a powerful statement from Colorado’s legislature about the priorities of the State. Further cuts to higher education were proposed, and it is clear that some do not see the value of investing in or state by investing in our students and in higher education. Though things may look bad for higher education, we are not without hope.

We at Metro State have an opportunity to chart a new path for the college. It is important that we continue to call attention to the value of investment in oru colleges and universities, but we can take steps on our own to move forward as well.

If you are concerned about the future of the college, please send me your questions and comments. If you have concerns about how the proposed cuts to higher education impact Metro’s plan to move forward, I encourage you to comment here. This site is intended to be a place for discussion. 

I will post updates as they come.
