Good morning,

This year's bills to free all of Missouri's public universities to offer PhDs and end Mizzou's monopoly are in motion. The Senate bill, SB 11, has reached the Senate Education Committee (https://www.senate.mo.gov/Committees/CommitteeDetails/7 

Please email the committee now. Ask them to hold a hearing on SB 11 and vote YES to stand up for fairness and free choice. It is VITAL to tell them that last year's version of this bill (2024's SB 749) passed its committee with a bipartisan vote of 8-2!
