Reorganizing Higher Education Editorials in Vermont
The Legislative Council committee on higher education heard proposals to reorganize Vermont public universities and colleges. President Rowell urged a merged State University of Vermont with a single board but multiple campuses, while opponents warned of loss of identity. Vermont Technical College president Kieffer favored a separate occupational education board with a coordinating Higher Education Commission. All sides seek unified finance, reduced duplication, and smoother student transfers.
