SCSU’s Wacker Responds to Passing of Tuition Freeze and Higher Ed Bill
The Minnesota House at the State Legislature passed a two-year tuition freeze at all state colleges and universities (the Minnesota State system) -- a key feature of a four-billion-dollar higher education budget for the next two years that the Minnesota House passed late Wednesday. St. Cloud State University President Dr. Robbyn Wacker joined me on WJON. She is thanking local lawmakers for advocating for St. Cloud State and the Minnesota state system as a whole.

Wacker explains that the Minnesota State system request is $350 Million and covers student support, (which includes the tuition freeze), student support services, scholarships, workforce and economic development, (where colleges and Universities can create partnerships with local industries and businesses) and stabilization of funding. She says they are excited about the refocus on higher education needs in the state so they can continue to serve students.
