National Campaign to defend education and jobs!
If the recent economic turmoil has taught us anything, it's that when budgets get tight, higher education is the first to get cut. State legislators and executives and campus leaders have nearly universally failed at enacting prudent fiscal policies that look beyond a single budget cycle.

It's time to fight back!
