"I think the thing we have got to keep in mind is the most important thing we can do to increase the quality of higher education is to increase the quality of students that come to us. It doesn’t do us any good to run down public education (K-12) to try and see their budget diverted to us, if the end result is that the kids coming out of the pipeline aren’t prepared for college. So we are acting in our own self interested when we are supporting public education. "

- Dan Klaich, Executive Vice Chancellor, Nevada System Higher Education, discussing higher education and the public school system (K-12) working together to improve the education system in Nevada.
