CU Connections | Governor proposes 9.7 percent funding increase for higher education

“This is great news and we appreciate Gov. Hickenlooper’s prioritizing higher education in his budget request,” said CU President Bruce D. Benson. “If approved by the Legislature, it will invest more funding in higher education, which will generate substantial returns for our students and our state.”

CU’s share would be an estimated $18.9 million, or about a 10 percent increase.
