Constitutional Convention Debates Board of Trustees Status
Education dominates the September 13 session with Proposal No. 37 to mandate public schools and Proposal No. 86 seeking constitutional status for the State Colleges Board of Trustees. Debate centers on preserving legislative flexibility versus protecting higher education, with supporters citing precedent and funding, and critics warning of rigidity and future change constraints. A related Proposal No. 57 faces renewed discussion after No. 56 failed. Franklin Coyle of Brown University will speak to the Bristol County DAR September 13 on The Welcome Arnold Papers.
