I wanted to share a report that I edited, which just was released today. Please see the links below – one for the Executive Summary (which is as much as most people will look at), and one for the complete report.
I’ll also attach the link to the editorial in today’s DM Register, which will introduce you to the report a bit.
And here is the UI press release on the report:
This was the result of a legislative mandate to prepare a report for the Governor and Legislature. The report was written by profs from all 3 regents institutions. The timing of the report’s release is not the best. However I was pleased to be involved with this, as I think it is a very important subject, and also because I think this will become a significant baseline document.
Please help spread the word about this in any way that you can, and feel free to use it in any way you wish. Thanks, Connie Mutel
