The Minnesota Senate has approved a higher education bill worth nearly three billion dollars. Most of the money would be split between the University of Minnesota and Minnesota State Colleges and Universities. The bill includes an amendment designed to reduce the number of students who arrive at college unprepared to do coursework. Data released by the state's public colleges and universities shows nearly one-third of students from the class of 1999 had to take remedial classes in college. DFL Senator Tony Kinkel is behind the amendment.
