Wiedeman, Reeves
Chronicle of Higher Education, v55 n7 pA22 Oct 2008
Among the 142 ballot measures that will be before voters in 33 states this November are 17 proposals in 13 states that would directly affect higher education. Michigan voters will face questions about stem-cell research, people going to the polls in Colorado and Nebraska will be asked about affirmative action, and voters in six states will decide issues related to state lotteries or gambling that help finance scholarships and other higher-education programs. In three states, a total of more than $500-million in bond money for higher education is at stake.
