What The Endless Frontier Act Could Mean For Arizona's Universities

The U.S. Senate just did something relatively unusual in Washington, D.C., these days: It passed a bipartisan bill.

It was originally dubbed the Endless Frontier Act, and it amounts to a big investment in U.S. technology and innovation so that we can compete with China. It heads to the U.S. House next, where Fred DuVal hopes it will win bipartisan support again.

DuVal is a member of the Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees our state’s three public universities. The Show spoke with him about the bill and what effect he thinks it could have in Arizona.
