Ball State President on recently passed Indiana higher education laws

Indiana’s lawmakers in this year’s legislative session hashed out measures on a myriad of topics including state colleges and universities.  Of recent interest is Senate Bill 199 that would require state officials to examine and possibly eliminate certain low-wage college degree programs.  Further, has any progress been made at restoring funding cuts to the state’s higher education institutions since tax revenues went far above forecasts from last year?
