Reagan Requests Public Input Regarding NH Higher Education

Concord, NH - The Public Higher Education Study Committee, charged with studying many aspects of higher education, is seeking public input regarding experiences in New Hampshire’s higher education system. Specifically, the request seeks to answer the question: does attending a public or private institution of higher education provide increased critical thinking skills, personal or professional development, ability to repay student loan debt, advanced knowledge and/or adequate career related skills?
“The Public Higher Education Study Committee is looking for the public’s input related to the quality and overall value of higher education in New Hampshire. We are looking for individual experiences that will illustrate the quality of the education they received in our state,” said Senator John Reagan (R-Deerfield), chair of the Public Higher Education Study Committee.
“These individual stories will be an integral part of our work to ensure the $86 million in taxpayer dollars that is spent on higher education are providing an adequate return on investment that will not only support the needs of our state’s workforce but ensure our students will obtain good paying jobs and are able excel in their careers.”
Input from those who have attended public or private institutions for higher learning are welcome for comparison purposes. Please submit written submissions to 53 Mount Delight, Deerfield, NH 03037 or you can contact Senator John Reagan at 603-463-5945 or [email protected]
