Higher-ed commish: Take out cloning amendment

Minnesota Higher Education Commissioner Sheila Wright has written a letter to Michelle Fischbach (R-Paynesville), chairwoman of the Senate higher education committee.

She makes the usual arguments against funding cuts, but also addresses the human cloning amendment:

"SF924 contains policy provisions that should be dealt with separately. Language regarding human cloning is moving in a separate bill and should continue to do so. Any policy provisions not tied to the budget should be removed so we can focus on the budget."
