Yesterday the House Higher Education committee held a work session on interm planning.

Several members of the committee shared potential ideas and discussion points for the interim. Among those mentioned by members include the need to fully understand the budgetary impacts on students and the institutions, to re-examine remedial education, and to engage in the public with regard to higher education.

In addition Chair Seaquist proposed a series of meetings across the state – at each of the four-year, public campuses – with the intention  of getting to know higher education in Washington better and to discuss issues impacting higher education in an effort to develop a 2012 legislative agenda.
