Education should be one of our top funding priorities; talking about it does not help the teachers and students who desperately need promises fulfilled.

Universities have to tame their budgets, especially for student amenities that have nothing to do with education.

We can not continue to allow this over reliance on government to replace the cornerstone institution that has made the American experience possible.

The lack of diversity in higher education is a problem we as a country must tackle if we're going to live up to our promise.

We have to build the capacity of our institutions, employees and workers. Our regulatory environment has not been encouraging to research, innovation and enterprise.

My university work was not central to my education.

I believe that our office has clearly been the leader in building coalitions, in getting other universities across the contrary to interact more effectively with the government and particularly the Congress.

We in universities are not in the democracy business. What we do, when we're doing it, is teach and learn.

I think higher education is over-regulated.

The success of our economy shouldn't determine the success of our schools.
