Message from the Dean: a Commitment to the Dream
eNews Edition: Summer 2015
Almost everyone agrees that higher education should be more affordable, especially for those who can afford it the least. Perhaps Bill Clinton said it most succinctly: “When we make college more affordable, we make the American dream more achievable.”
But how do we expand our access to more and more students and provide them with better tools while at the same time keeping the costs of a university education at reasonable levels? We need to embrace expansion, growth, and new technologies, but how do we do this without raising costs and limiting access to people in the state, regardless of economic challenge, who desire a college education?
