AFFORDABILITY to Higher Education: Why it matters to all

It is a primary engine for state-level economic resilience. When we facilitate affordability for students, we aren't just helping individuals, we are fueling an entire ecosystem. Affordable higher education is the ultimate "state-level" investment and how modernizing our academic offerings can supercharge that growth. Supporting policies that fund public universities and community colleges isn't just about "fairness", it’s about competitiveness. If we want the tech hubs of tomorrow to be in our backyard, we need to build the classrooms for them today.
