Issue Position: Higher Education

Issue Position

It may be cliche, but it's a fact: our young people are our future and investing in their education is critical to the future success of this state. Yet we continue to allow funding to colleges and university to be slashed when the bloated state budget gets tight. Nicholls State University's budget was cut by more than $3 million this year alone. We must change the way we fund higher education in this state before our best and brightest look elsewhere for their education.
