“I'm most enthused by the younger people...and I wouldn't have said that two years ago. I spoke at two college campuses (in Wisconsin) and the students weren't interested. Public Service was a dirty word to them. Now they see it differently. They see you can come together and have a positive impact. I'm encouraged because they now see that we can win on these issues.” PeopleYearsSaidTwoTogetherWinningIssuesStudentsCollegeYears AgoImpactDirtyTwo YearsSpokesPublic ServiceCampusWisconsinPositive ImpactDirty WordsTwo Years AgoCollege Campus Author:Ed Garvey
“We have to make sure that college is accessible and affordable. Two years ago, I stood here and called upon our institutions of higher learning to develop plans for degrees that cost no more than $10,000. There were plenty of detractors at that time who insisted it couldn't be done. However, that call inspired educators at colleges and universities across our state to step up to the plate. Today, I'm proud to tell you that thirteen Texas universities have announced plans for a $10,000 degree.” YearsTwoStatesDoneTodayEducationStepsPlansCollegeProudHigherCostDegreesYears AgoInstitutionsInspiredUniversityPlentyTwo YearsTexasPlatesAffordableEducatorStep UpThirteenTwo Years AgoColleges And UniversitiesHigher Learning Author:Rick Perry

“A young professor I watched in action at one of our large eastern colleges used to stand with his back to the class and mumble explanations of blackboard problems. He was "let out" at the end of two years because students refused to attend his classes. He was given an evasive reason for his dismissal and he left with justifiable bitterness toward the administration. If someone had told him the truth he could have avoided this denouement.
