Just how peeved is the U of M prez about the higher-ed bill?

"I'm as hot as hell about it.  I think it's the wrong way to go.  It's the wrong way to direct the investment of the University of Minnesota and the fortunes of the state."

-- University of Minnesota President Robert Bruininks on the higher education bill that was passed by the legislative conference committee last night, in comments to reporters after the regular Board of Regents meeting today.

(MPR's Tim Post will be reporting some bits about the meeting, so tune in to the news.)
