Bill Would Create Statewide Board of Trustees

A story in The Daily about a bill that would eliminate the Board of Regents for a board of trustees that would govern all of higher education in the state. This creates the potential for a bloated bureaucracy that would make it more difficult to understand individual institutions' needs.

UW Students Support Creating Student Trustees at Community/Technical Colleges

UW Student Regent Frances Youn came down to Olympia last week to testify in support of a bill that would allow the appointment of student members on the boards of trustees of community colleges. We are proud to stand united with our Community and Technical College student partners in support of making sure the student voice is a part of the decision-making process.
