Due to the economic ramifications of COVID-19, without significant federal intervention the State will be faced with difficult budget decisions. Historically, when faced with decreased state revenue, higher education has borne a disproportionate share of the cuts, which are then passed on to students and their families. These cuts have the devastating effect of limiting students’ access to higher education, particularly for students from low-income families. Join us in sending a letter to the higher education and budget working groups, urging them to keep the doors to higher education open by making higher education a priority in the FY2021 state budget.
