Legislators urged to back public higher education funding

They note only 11 million of a 40 million Regents request goes to general funds, with the rest as one time economic development money. Tuition rose from 3155 in 2000 to 6079 for 2006 07, a 92 percent jump, affecting middle class access and prompting graduates to seek higher wages elsewhere.

It cites experts who say counterterror strategy requires diplomacy, police work, and nuanced understanding rather than a single label.
