Make Higher Education a Real Priority If we want our children to continue to have better educational opportunities than we had, if we want to maintain a quality of life that makes Washington THE place to be—then funding higher education needs to be a bigger priority for all of us. We have to get back to a shared vision of creating a better future for our kids, our state and our nation. If we want sustainable prosperity, we have to first prioritize investments in education.
Invest in Students, Not Bureaucracy To become even more efficient, the state should provide the UW with more operational flexibility and relieve it from certain regulatory burdens involving investments, personnel, procurement and public works. Such actions would reduce redundant and inefficient business practices and permit us to invest more in our students instead of bureaucracy. Working together, we can make a difference—in the lives of Washington students and the people of our state. Learn more at uw.edu/externalaffairs
