Dayton Urged to Stand Firm on Higher Ed Cuts

There was an article called Dayton Urged to Stand Firm on Higher Ed that was in the Saint Cloud Times informed us about higher education cuts.  The governor Dayton, which is a Democrat, wants to limit the amount of cuts to higher education but the Republicans which has the majority, wants to make large amounts of cuts.  There was a discussion with a bunch of different people, such as students and universities.  These cuts would affect colleges and universities in the state of Minnesota.  There was a quote in this article by a student that said that she understands how there needs to be cuts but we can’t cut higher education because students need these opportunities because they are the future.  Another student from the Univeristy of Minnesota wrote  that these cuts would make the class sizes larger and it would be harder for students to get into classes.  Overall, I think there is a lot of work that needs to be done and it will be hard for colleges and universities to know where to cut if these cuts happen.
