    payments at 10 percent o their disposable income, startingthis year or current students, and orgives any remaining

    debt ater 20 years. Halted bank-based lending so that theederal government makes loans directly to students; plans tocontinue to use savings to step up support or Pell Grants andcommunity colleges.

    Requested $7.4 billion in ederal support or the National ScienceFoundation in his 2013 budget, an increase o $340 million

    rom the 2012 level. Requested ederal support or the NationalInstitutes o Health remained at or 2013 at $31 billion. Supportsstem-cell research; in 2009, repealed President George W. Bushs

    Vows to restore the role o banks in the ederal student-loanmarket and to streamline the ederal student-aid system.Promises to reocus Pell dollars on the students who need

    them most and place the program on a responsible long-termpath that avoids uture unding clis and last-minute unding

    patches, according to a report on education.

    Emphasizes his strong commitment to research in the physical,biological, and social sciences and pledges that the priorities

    or research unding will not be hijacked by short-term politicalimperatives. As governor o Massachusetts, vetoed a bill that wouldhave allowed the cloning o human embryos or stem-cell research.

    Research and

    the Future

    I strongly support investments in research and development that help

    spur America innovation and proposed a goal that, as a country, weinvest more than 3 percent o our GDP in public and private research and

    developmentexceeding the level achieved at the height o the spacerace. Thats why, under the Recovery Act, my administration enacted

    the largest research and development increase in our nations history.

    Through the Recovery Act, my Administration committed over $100billion to support ground-breaking innovation with investments in energy,basic research, education and training, advanced vehicle technology,

    health IT and health research, high speed rail, smart grid, and inormationtechnology. O these unds, we made a $90 billion investment in clean

    energy that will produce as much as $150 billion in clean energy projects. Inact, the Recovery Act made the largest single investment in clean energy

    in American history. And our investments in energy not only ocus onresearch, but on the deployment o these new technologies.

    We have invested highly in important research being done to improve

    the health and wellness o all Americans so that we can continue tounravel clues to treating or preventing some o lies most daunting

    and debilitating diseases, develop powerul new medicines, andeven dene strategies that will prevent disease rom occurring in

    the rst place. We have also made critical investments in researchand development to bolster our national security and deense. And

    my budget continues to support making permanent the R&D taxcredit, which would allow businesses the ability to invest and grow

    their organizations. While making tough choices, we will continue toprioritize investments in research to ensure that our country remains

    a global leader and that Americans can remain innovators, working tobetter their lives and the lives around them.

    Given that the nextCongress will ace

    spending constraints,what priority wouldyou give to investment

    in research in yourupcoming budgets?

    I am a strong supporter o ederally unded research, and continued

    unding would be a top priority in my budget. The answer to spendingconstraints is not to cut back on crucial investments in Americas uture,

    but rather to spend money more wisely. For instance, President Obamaspent $90 billion in stimulus dollars in a ailed attempt to promote

    his green energy agenda. That same spending could have unded the

    nations energy research programs at the level recommended in arecent Harvard University study or nearly twenty years.

    Good public policy must also ensure that ederal research is beingamplied in the private sector, and that major breakthroughs are able

    to make the leap rom the laboratory to the marketplace. Unortunately,President Obama has pursued policies across a range o elds that

    will have the opposite eect. For instance, Obamacare imposes anexcise tax on the revenue o medical device companies that is already

    driving jobs and investment overseas. Meanwhile, the FDAs slow andopaque approval process is rated less than one-ourth as eective as its

    European counterpart by medical technology companies. Robust NIHunding will only have its desired eect i paired with sensible policies

    that acilitate medical innovation more broadly.

    Stance on

    Higher

    Education

    Issues

    Gov. Nixon took steps to make colleges more aordable byworking with the higher education community to reeze tuitionat Missouris colleges and universities or two consecutive years

    during the economic downturn. On Gov. Nixons watch, tuition andees at Missouris our-year public universities have had the lowest

    rate o increase in the entire nation. Today, enrollment at Missouripublic colleges and universities is at record levels, demonstratingprogress toward Gov. Nixons goal o increasing the percentage oMissourians with a higher education degree to 60 percent by 2020.

    Other key components o Gov. Nixons strategy to expand higher

    educational opportunities or Missourians include:

    Expanding the A+ Schools program, giving more students twoyears o ree tuition at Missouris community colleges.

    Expanding access to programs like the Innovation Campusat the University o Central Missouri, which will train studentsor high-demand elds, cut the time it takes to earn a college

    degree, and reduce student debt.

    Launching initiatives like Caring or Missourians andMoHealthWINS to ensure our colleges and universities havethe tools to train students and workers or 21st Century careers.

    Supporting scholarship programs like Access Missouri and

    Bright Flight, while expanding college savings opportunitieswith legislation to extend and reduce barriers to the Missourihigher Education Savings Program (MOST).

    Creating incentives or high school students who excel in

    advanced math and science courses.

    Without a doubt, job creation is my number one priority.That is why it makes perect sense or me to push anaggressive education reorm agenda. Education and economic

    development go hand in hand, said Spence.

    Spences ormer company, Alpha Packaging currently unds

    more than 20 college scholarships or the children o itsemployees. Additionally, Spence is a sponsor o a special

    entrepreneurial study program or students at the TrulaskeSchool o Business at the University o Missouri-Columbia.

    I will bring together all the stakeholders in education todevelop an immediate plan o action or education reorm

    during my rst legislative session as governor, said Spence.

    Daves initial Back to Basics education reorm principles includes:

    Many Paths, Same Success- A our-year college degree is

    not the only path to a successul career. We need to assist

    trade schools and community colleges, as well as set up analternative platorm or the students that simply want to

    learn a lie skill and go to work.

    Clint was the rst member o his amily to attend college. Heunderstands how critical access to quality, aordable highereducation is to Missouris uture.

    As State Treasurer, Clint leads MOST, the states 529 college

    savings plan.

    When Clint took ofce, Missouris plan cost too much.Thanks to changes Clint made, MOST is now the 5th lowestcost 529 college savings plans in the country. The cost o the

    plan decreased by 44% thanks to Clint.

    For the rst time in the plans history, Clint has secured

    $500,000 investment rom the private sector to providematching grants to low and middle -income amilies that aresaving or a childs higher education.

    Under Clints watch, asset levels or MOST are at an all-time

    high, which means more amilies are saving more money or

    college than ever. 130,000 amilies have saved $1.5 billionor higher education.

    Clint developed Missouri Promise, legislation that expands

    the A+ Schools Program to all Missouri high schools andguarantees any student a 4-year degree i she or he getsgood grades and perorms community service. This kind o

    investment is crucial to creating an educated, highly skilledwork orce that is vital to Missouris long-term ability tobecome leader in the Midwest.

    MISSOURI CONGRESSIONAL

    In 2011, the Javits Fellowship program was consolidated into the Graduate Assistance in Areas o National Need program, which doesnot address the arts and humanities. Over the past 50 years, more than hal o the U.S. economic growth was indirectly due to ederal

    investments in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education. Approximately 150,000 researchers, technicians, post-docsand graduate/undergraduate students were unded by National Science Foundation (NSF) grants in 2010. Would you support legislationthat increases funding to STEM education by providing research funding to the NSF, NIH, national labs and other federal research agencies?

    What is your opinion on re-instating the Javits Fellowship and similar humanities, arts and social science programs?

    Federal grants such as the Pell Grant do not exist or low-income students interested in pursuing graduate degrees, orcing them toeither take on more student loans or orgo the pursuit o an advanced degree. There has been a steady rise in the deault rates or

    undergraduate, graduate, and proessional student loans over the past ew decades, as debt burdens increase. The Budget Control Act o2011 eliminated the in-school interest subsidies or graduate and proessional student loans. In order to help the students of Missouri, what

    legislation would you propose to ease the burden of student debt? Will you support Income Based Repayment and Federal Public Service Loan

    Forgiveness Programs?

    Due to current immigration laws, most international graduates are orced to take their expertise and Americas intellectual capital back totheir home country. The H-1B visa cap has been reached every year since 2004 and the cap on Green Cards has led to decade-long wait

    times or skilled immigrants. Considering the complexity of the immigration issues in the United States, what is your stance on expanding thevisa opportunities for American educated international students?

    The cost o purchasing research journal subscriptions has increased above the consumer price index by a actor o 4 over the past 25years. In order to combat this issue, NIH implemented the Public Access program in 2008, which has demonstrated great success thus

    ar. A similar program or all ederally unded research would enable widespread access to this inormation, enabling innovation andimproving the return on ederal research investments. Open access also allows taxpayers to honestly review how and where their moneyis being spent. What is your position on The Federal Research Public Access Act of 2012?

    Increase PELL grant: Claire supported the Higher EducationOpportunity Act (Public Law 110-315), which provided or a longoverdue increase in Pell Grants, increasing their value by 25 percent

    over our years to $5,400 by 2011. Through this legislation, more low-income students will become automatically eligible or aid since theminimum income level will be raised. ARRA also included more than

    $140 million in increased benets or Missouri Pell Grant recipients,as well as $3.84 million or grants to colleges and universities to assistwith nancing work-study programs.

    Student Loan Reorm: The Obama administration has proposed

    expanding the Direct Loan program by discontinuing the FederalFamily Education Loan (FFEL) program, a source o wasteul spending.The FFEL program subsidizes banks and private lenders with taxpayer

    dollars to provide government-backed student loans. In contrast,Direct Loans are distributed directly rom the ederal government tostudents. *Shiting entirely to direct lending would save nearly $23.5

    billion o ederal unds over ve years, which could be redirected toprovide desperately needed nancial aid to more students. Clairecontinues to study the proposed legislation and has solicited views

    rom stakeholders across Missouri.

    Make College More Afordable: Claire knows higher education iscritical to a healthy and competitive economy. However, the recenteconomic downturn has made the pursuit o a college degree

    increasingly difcult or students and parents to aord. Claire isworking alongside her colleagues to remove waste and streamlinethe student aid process, with an eye towards making a college

    education aordable or all Missourians.

    Issues

    Funding Graduate Education: I generally believe thateducation, including higher education, should not be managedat a ederal level. I believe that allowing dierent states to

    develop their own unique programs would produce a betternational higher education system than one that is managed bybureaucrats in Washington. As an engineer mysel, I am a big

    believer in the importance in STEM education but also see thebeauty and importance o studying all areas.

    Student Loans: I believe that student loans are an important parto our higher education system, but I also believe we need to keep

    higher education competitive so that costs o higher educationare driven down, thus leaving students with less debt. I believethat aordable access to higher education is the true solution, not

    increased access to government subsidized student loans.

    Student Immigration: I strongly support an expanded visa

    program or American educated international students. Americahas always attracted the best and the brightest, and I believe

    that we should invite the best and the brightest to stay here inAmerica and contribute to our uture.

    Open Access or Federally Funded Research: I supportcommon-sense eorts to ensure that publicly unded research is

    available and accessible to the general public.

    I strongly support an enhanced ederal commitment tograduate education. Current unding levels could be raisedsubstantially perhaps 25% -- even in the present economic

    climate. Our nation needs a steady stream o mathematiciansand scientists. Interruptions in the ow due to uctuating

    government unding could mean that some o the best studentsget denied their opportunity to succeed. As one with a Master oArts in English, I also eel that we need more support or arts andhumanities education. My ear is that we are moving towards a

    nation where only the sons and daughters o the top ew percenthave the ability to pursue higher education. Direct and indirectsupport o undergraduate and graduate students is critical.

    My wie is a pharmacist. Across the nation pharmacy programsare in the process o shiting rom a six year to a seven yearcurriculum: she ears that the extra year o tuition and living

    expenses will price some good students out o the eld, and,burden many (perhaps most) with such a great loan repaymentschedule that they wont be able to consider a career in lower

    paying yet vital public service positions. My career has beenamong non-prots where education is valued but pay scalesdo not reward those with advanced degrees as much as they

    should.*I strongly support Income Based Repayment schedules,a ederal role in loan guarantees or graduate education andloan orgiveness or public service. Note that the Budget Control

    Act o 2011 is not quality law. It is one o a long series o movesby Congress to kick the can down the road without solving

    Legislators are asked to pass a budget yearly even with a diicult iscal climate. ASUM supports ully unding the University oMissouri based on the appropriation request rom the University o Missouri Budget Oice.

    www.umsystem.edu/newscentral/asum

    The U niver sity o Misso uri Board o Cu rators consi sts o 9 curators i nclud ing an at -large cur ator. Univer sity students do not have

    a voice because only one student representative communicates their viewpoint in meetings, and that student does not have avote. ASUM eels that students should be given a true voice on the Board o Curators because they are paying or the majorityo the UM systems budget and students rom out o state have no representation.

    Many University o Missouri students are tenants, and ASUM seeks to encourage mutually beneicial relationshipsbetween the landlord and tenant.

    STEM goals include increasing enrollment in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics related education programs and

    increasing the quality o the education in those elds. Education in the STEM elds requires special attention because more than halo the nations economic growth, 91% o U.S. STEM jobs will require some college or better by 2018.

    ASUM assessed the state legislator candidates running in the Nov. 6th electionregarding their position on the following key legislative issues:
