It’s that time of year — the time when students cry out for lawmakers to give colleges enough money to fix their facilities (to replace bad pipes, heat cold, drafty classrooms — that sort of stuff).
The program to fix all that is called HEAPR (“HEE-per”), an acronym for a rather clumsy title: the Higher Education Asset Preservation and Replacement.
The Senate higher-education committee is meeting today to discuss the proposed bonding bill, and students are pushing legislators to focus state money on fixing and renovating buildings. (Hence, the letter above.)
