However, it must be recognized that funds from these sources are restricted to particular uses and generally cannot be used for the education of undergraduate students. The University Requires Public Funds for High-Quality Undergraduate Education. It is the State's funding, together with student tuition revenue, that provides the resource for instructional programs. New Hampshire has a state university in order to provide a high-quality education to all academically qualified students of the State. We are doing everything in our power to fulfill this responsibility, but we cannot do this alone.
Tuition is already too high.
Students are taking more than four years for their degrees because they are working during the school year, and many students are graduating with significant debts. Additional State monies are needed if we are to provide access to a university education for qualified New Hampshire residents. Technology is an Important Tool in Today's University. Through its own creativity and initiative, UNH has reallocated funds to wire all of its residence halls, faculty offices, and classrooms for internet access and to double the number of computers available to students in our so-called clusters. Nevertheless, we are woefully behind in bringing the full force and benefit of technology to the academic enterprise.
