Presidents outline progress in higher education

The presidents of Washington’s six four-year public baccalaureate institutions co-authored a column in The News Tribune Sunday highlighting the progress our universities have made given economic hardship, and the Legislature’s important role in allowing us to do so.  You can read the column here.

Addressing the study by the University of Pennsylvania, which criticized the higher education system of Washington, the presidents provided specific examples of genuine progress.  That includes new enrollment records in the face to steep cuts in state support.
