Ringo: Higher ed isn’t ‘doing just fine’
"I know that universities have borne a heavier burden than other entities," said JFAC Co-Chair Dean Cameron. "That's not because want them to. ... They are much more able to adapt and work through this than any of the other agencies we are setting budgets for." He noted that universities have other funds, including research grants and reserves. Rep. Shirley Ringo, D-Moscow, responded, "Some of the discussion would suggest that colleges and universities are doing just fine and they're not."
