It's fair to say the lives of every Minnesotan have been made better by research done by the University of Minnesota. But that research is now in jeopardy. Minnesota Lt. Governor Yvonne Prettner Solon says state leaders understand the value the University brings to the entire state but says the money just isn't there.

University leaders say it's a matter of priorities and higher education is too low on the state's list.
