STORRS — Continuing their protests against the state-approved budget, University of Connecticut officials at Wednesday’s board of trustees meeting called funding cuts an “attack on public education.”
UConn President Susan Herbst and board of trustees Chairman Larry McHugh led the discussion on the “disastrous” state budget.
“The Republican-sponsored budget that just passed the General Assembly is probably the worst attack on public education I have seen in 34 years,” McHugh said. “This budget is a disaster for higher ed.”
