Grand Valley State University President Thomas J. Haas testified for his 13th and final time before the Michigan House Subcommittee on Higher Education. He reminded lawmakers that Michigan's Constitution states education is to be a priority of the government.
He delivered his remarks in Lansing February 14. This is his last time because he will retire as president June 30. He has been unrelenting during his tenure as the leader of the university in his insistence that higher education is a public good and requires the investment of the state to fulfill its potential and secure the state's future.
