Contact Di Saunders, Office: 503-725-5714; Cell: 971-219-6869
WHEN:
Friday, January 21st, 12:15-1:15 pm
WHERE:
City Club of Portland, Friday Forum event: The Governor Hotel, 614 SW 11th Ave., Portland, OR
WHAT:
Governing and Funding Higher Education: The recent national recession, and changes in state resources over the last 20 years, has made it clear that reforms are needed in the way that Oregon funds and operates its system of higher education. Over the last 25 years the imbalance between state needs and state resources has fallen especially hard on higher education. Oregon University System leaders will outline the factors that have led the State Board of Higher Education to seek structural changes for Oregon public higher education, and its reform proposal for the 2011 Legislative Session that will focus on: raising the education level of Oregonians through student access and success, providing high quality, affordable education; conducting research to support a vital Oregon economy; and supporting development of a strong, diverse workforce, more companies and jobs, and vibrant communities throughout the state.
