Speak Out
Now is the time to tell others about Solutions Through Higher Education. Tell your friends, coworkers and others about the importance of supporting higher education.
Write an Op-Ed
Let your elected officials know you care about higher education by writing an op-ed for your local paper. Use Solutions talking points to write an op-ed or letter to your editor. Op-ed pieces are typically 500-700 words long, and letters to the editor are typically shorter at 50 to 250 words.
Talking Points:
• Arizona’s universities have sustained the largest budget cuts of any others in the nation.
• Providing access to higher education is key to building and sustaining Arizona’s economy and standard of living.
• Financial assistance must be preserved to provide access to higher education.
• Higher education drives job growth and provides a highly skilled workforce that is vital to Arizona’s economy.
• Higher education is essential to provide a higher quality of life for our children and grandchildren.
• Encourage thoughtful budget solutions, rather than continued cuts at the universities expense.
