IBHE to scrutinize state energy health programs
Illinois Board of Higher Education will review energy conservation and health profession programs this year. The health program evaluation targets SIUE dental education, with a proposal for a special committee to assess demand, funding, and alternatives. The panel notes permanent facilities would cost about 20 million and total bonds could reach 45 million. The review questions building the program for roughly 60 students and considers other schools' capacity. The report urges focusing on rural and urban residency needs and maintaining other health program enrollments at 1981 levels while dental enrollment drops. Energy outlooks project a 1986 bill near 97.4 million unless we cut consumption or advance coal conversion strategies.
