To start the 2011 session, the committee has done a series of informative overviews of various issues affecting our state's higher education system -- which began back in the 1860's. These sessions on higher education's impact on the economy, a look at who is attending college, and other topics can be found archived at TVW.
The Seattle Times has taken an interest in higher education, with a review of the proposed budget cuts to higher education in yesterday's paper: The Budget Breakdown - Trimming higher ed may erode job opportunities
Today they're going a step further and hosting an online chat to answer questions about the cuts and what impacts they'll have. Reporter Katherine Long will be starting that at 1 p.m. today.
