From pandemic to recession, a “cacophony of crises” threatens Colorado’s higher education institutions - Elizabeth Hernandez, Denver Post

Unknowns abound, but a looming worry plagues Paccione, the executive director of the Colorado Department of Higher Education. Next year will be even worse. “The hit we are taking this year will pale in terms of next year,” Paccione said. “This year, we were able to get a significant amount of support from the federal government… and that really saved higher ed in Colorado. Without that influx of dollars… there would have been no way for us to survive. We don’t know if we’re going to have that kind of assistance next year. We’re begging for it.”
