Posted: Updated:
MANKATO, Minn. -

Governor Dayton's higher education proposals get a warm reception from area college students.
 
Larry Pogemiller, the Director of the Minnesota Office of Higher Education made a stop in Mankato to speak with college students of area schools, and find out what they think of the governor's proposed budget that would add an additional $240 million to the state's higher education funding.
  
Pogemiller says, "Is the balance right? Some investment in internships and apprenticeships, some financial aide investment. And then some institutional investment to maintain quality faculty. Just feedback from students directly."
 
Officials and students from MSU, SCC, Bethany, and Gustavus talked with Pogemiller about their experiences.

No one from Rasmussen College was in attendance.
