UT Responds to President Obama’s Higher Ed Plan
“The University of Tennessee has been making steady strides in many of the areas President Obama outlined today in his plan for higher education. In Tennessee, Gov. Haslam’s “Drive to 55” to increase college graduates and the Complete College Tennessee Act that changed state funding to reward institutions based on retention and graduation metrics all align with the UT System Strategic Plan. Affordability, access and student success are critical issues and ones the University of Tennessee and all of our campuses are working hard to improve.
