Higher ed conference committee meets
On Wednesday, April 19, the higher education conference committee met for the first time to compare the House and Senate versions of the bill. President Kaler released a statement calling on the legislature to invest in the University of Minnesota's shared prosperity with the state.
On Friday, April 21, President Kaler sent a letter to the committee chairs outlining the University of Minnesota's positions on the bills. The conference committee will continue to meet this week to review the provisions in both versions of the bill. However, legislative budget targets have not yet been agreed upon, so little action can take place to reconcile differences between bill versions.
