NASHUA – Cuts to state funding for higher education have been seen around the nation, but they’ve hit New Hampshire hardest. And University of New Hampshire President Mark Huddleston has a few ideas why.
“If you look at Wisconsin, or Ohio State, people love those universities, they see them as theirs,” he said. “We do the same thing for New Hampshire that those universities do for their states, but the level of attachment is really different. There’s not that same level of an emotional bond.”
At a meeting with The Telegraph’s editorial board Thursday, Huddleston discussed the historic cuts made to the University System of New Hampshire in 2011, the current funding talks ongoing in the state legislature, and the future of public higher education in the Granite State.
For every person who lives in New Hampshire, the state contributes $63.19 to support public higher education, making the state the worst in the nation.![]()
