Assignment task:
Assume that the Higher Education Finance and Policy Committee is holding a hearing on the bill. You are a Minnesota resident who is testifying at this hearing. For purposes of this assignment, choose what type of resident you are. For example, you could be a health care provider, administrator, or a patient - you are not limited to this list. Also, choose your position - do you support the bill or are you opposed to it?
You have a lot to say about this issue and you were expecting to have 15 minutes to testify. But, the committee has gotten behind schedule and tells you that you have no more than 3 minutes to testify. Luckily, you came prepared with a 3 minute version of your testimony just in case this happened.
In 400 words, write your testimony being as specific and convincing as you can. Focus on the key information you want the legislators to know! Think about how you are conveying the information. Be sure not to summarize the bill; rather focus on why legislators should or shouldn't pass the bill.
Reference for the bill is - Minnesota S.F. No. 42.
