I am an education attorney and former teacher who is running for CU Regent to make CU more affordable, accessible, sustainable, and inclusive. 

Let’s keep tuition in check, provide more affordable student housing, lower the cost of books, lock in tuition rates starting freshman year, and build up our endowment and use that money to drive down the cost of tuition.

I will push the university to become a more sustainable enterprise. We need to address the climate crisis by setting ambitious and measurable targets for reducing our carbon emissions. As CU Regent, I will push the university system to set a goal of net zero emissions.

I will work with our administrators, faculty, and students to build more diverse and inclusive campuses, especially in areas where the data shows we need to do better, such as improving our retention rates for students and faculty of color and increasing geographic diversity among students. And I will push CU to promote more opportunities for civil discourse and engagement, especially on issues of public concern, so we can learn from each other instead of talking past each other.
