Grading Minnesota's public universities
For our latest state report card on public higher education, we turn to Minnesota and take a close look at the University of Minnesota system and the Minnesota State Colleges & Universities System. As with our previous report cards in Georgia, Missouri and Illinois, we basically try to evaluate whether students are receiving a quality education at an affordable price. On the whole, while we note several bright spots, we find that there remains much to be done. As we conclude in an op-ed pub published in The Star-Tribune:
"Minnesota taxpayers have generously supported their state universities. If those institutions wish to continue receiving such largesse -- which they clearly do -- it is incumbent upon them to tackle the issues of cost and quality outlined in our report card."
Make sure you also catch ACTA program director Charles Mitchell's interview on Governor Tim Palewnty's weekly radio show "Good Morning Minnesota" (you can listen to the interview online).
