This afternoon the Washington Senate Higher Education Committee held a public hearing and engaged in a conversation with three trustees from Washington’s public higher education institutions – Bellevue College, Everett Community College, and The Evergreen State College.

The Senate Committee asked several questions of the trustees ranging from what is the one thing you hope to do in your current role to what is your perspective on tuition policy.

Nick Wootan, the current student trustee, shared his thoughts with regard to tuition, the need for investment in higher education, and the role of student voice in higher education.
