Thank you for visiting Citizens
for Higher Education.
Public education is under attack nationwide as state budgets
are strained to the breaking point. Nowhere is this crisis
more evident than in Kansas.
That’s why Citizens for Higher Education is fighting back.
CHE’s mission is to raise awareness among all Kansans of the
serious impact funding cuts are having on our colleges and
universities; as well as on our state’s overall economic
well-being. The statistics are startling! Did you know: |
 |
Kansas ranks in the Top 10 of states sending
its young people to college, but at the bottom of the Big
12 in terms of funding? |
|
 |
|
|
State funding for higher education, adjusted for
inflation, has dropped every year since 1990 while
enrollment today is higher than it has ever been.
|
|
|
|
|
Average salaries for college
teachers and professors are at the bottom of the Big 12,
making our best and brightest minds ripe for the picking
by rival states? |
|
|
Kansans have always placed a high priority on quality
education. That’s why these, and other facts are
so troubling. CHE appreciates the fiscal challenges our state
government faces, but we also believe it is time for Kansas to
take a leadership role.
Please take time to review our
website, then get involved. Register with CHE online. There
are a number of ways you can help us preserve and improve the
quality of higher education in Kansas. Thank you for your
time and support. |
