Connecticut higher education quality has worsened under state austerity, says Donald H. McGannon chairing the Commission for Higher Education.

State Shelving Master Plan for Bradley Airport
Hartford AP reports a master plan for Bradley International Airport has been shelved as the state proceeds with a 2 million renovation of the Murphy terminal and other improvements. DOT will begin work next spring on centralized air conditioning, expanded gates, ticket facilities, baggage areas, and state police HQ. The planned master study, 80 percent federally funded, was withdrawn, delaying analysis of future traffic, runway needs, and surrounding land use through 1990.
