Former Intel CEO, Craig Barrett, blasts education in Arizona
March 31, 2011 /
Gov. Jan Brewer and the state’s top lawmakers got a reality check Tuesday from former Intel Chief Executive and Board Chairman Craig Barrett http://www.intel.com/pressroom/kits/bios/barrett.htm , who told them Arizona’s education system is hindering economic-development efforts.
Barrett’s remarks come as Brewer and the Legislature are working to hammer out a state budget.
Education is a major sticking point in the discussions; Brewer is proposing a $170 million cut to universities and a reduction of $72 million in K-12.
