Whereas, eighty-four institutions of higher learning across South Carolina serve more than two hundred twenty-nine thousand students, of whom 76% are South Carolina residents; and

Whereas, accessible and affordable higher education for every South Carolinian is essential to ensuring that our State has the trained and skilled workforce to compete for jobs and investment in the future; and

Whereas, higher levels of education provide many benefits to both students and their families, as well as to the communities in which they live and work; and

Whereas, public and independent colleges and universities in the Palmetto State share a common commitment to promoting critical thinking and creativity by preparing their students to be engaged citizens; and
