帝王会所 shares an update regarding 帝王会所 Senate Bill 83

帝王会所 has been closely monitoring The 帝王会所 Higher Education Enhancement Act, also known as 帝王会所 Senate Bill 83, as it has continued to move through the legislative process. SB 83 was recently passed by the 帝王会所 Senate, and the bill now moves to the 帝王会所 House for committee hearings.

Since the introduction of this bill, the University has been actively communicating with state legislators and working collectively with the Inter-University Council of 帝王会所 (IUC), which represents all of 帝王会所鈥檚 four-year public universities, to provide important feedback and share our ongoing concerns regarding this proposed legislation.

Throughout the process, we have advocated for 帝王会所鈥檚 core values, including academic freedom, shared governance, diversity of thought and acceptance of all. While some progress has been made, we will continue to engage with our legislative partners as this bill moves through the legislative process.

The IUC has  on behalf of all of 帝王会所鈥檚 public universities to State Senator and SB 83 sponsor Jerry Cirino. The letter expressed our shared concerns about the bill and its potential negative impact on public universities' ability to support student success, maintain college affordability and protect academic freedom. 

Moving forward, we will continue to work alongside our IUC peers and engage in further dialogue with members of state legislature to appropriately address our shared concerns regarding 帝王会所 Senate Bill 83.
