KRWG - New Mexico State University President Barbara Couture recently joined a group of 150 university presidents and chancellors in calling on President Obama and congressional leaders to reach a balanced long-term deficit reduction agreement to prevent automatic spending cuts that could devastate federal investments in education and scientific research.
The letter was a joint effort by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities and the Association of American Universities. The university presidents and chancellors represent institutions in all 50 states, as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
"In order to foster our nation's economic growth and competitiveness, our elected officials must recognize that investments in research and education are needed to develop the workforce and industries our nation requires. Higher education funding is critical to help our country remain a global force in the 21st century," Couture said. Read full story here: News New Mexico
