William Paterson University Voices Concerns

William Paterson University Voices Concerns Over Proposed State Budget - The proposed state budget for fiscal year 2007 calls for the largest cut to higher education funding in history and would be devastating to our state’s public universities and colleges. We recognize that the state is in a difficult financial position; however, we oppose the dramatic decreases in funding for higher education. State support for higher education has steadily declined for years and the proposed reduction would return William Paterson University’s state appropriation to the level experienced in 1998.
