Iowa study urges regional colleges and policy reform
A 12 month survey by Dr. Raymond Gibson for the 1959 Iowa legislature calls for linking education to workforce needs, establishing regional community colleges, joint university and public instruction research, and reforming liberal arts curricula. It projects a 70 percent undergraduate and 122 percent graduate enrollment rise by 1970 and outlines financing and planning steps for Iowa’s three state colleges. It also notes fluorescent blaze orange as safest hunter color, green school buses used as on-site mobile laboratories, and a proclamation period from December 1 to 7.
