10:21 PM — We're #1 !
- #1 in Football
- #1 in Baseball
- #49 in Public Higher Ed funding
According to the Massachusetts Teachers Association, Massachusetts ranks #49 in per capita funding of public higher education. Keep your eyes peeled for a TV ad campaign touting this, as well as T-shirts with a big "49" on the back.
Update:Depending upon who you ask, we're either #47 (
MSCA) or #49 (
MTA)
Update (6/5/05):At our graduation speech, the faculty representative said that we're #1 in cutting funding to public higher education. I wonder where she got that statistic from.
