The Senate Higher Education Committee is meeting this week, Wednesday, January 13, to here from legislative staff, the Higher Education Coordinating Board, and the Washington Student Association regarding impacts of the Governor’s proposed 2010 supplemental budget on higher education.

Wednesday will not include a public hearing, but instead is a work session with invited testimony only.
