Oklahoma Governor Calls for Higher Education Reform
Governor Lee Cruce says Oklahoma overbuilt higher education, urging abolition of four normal schools, the two university preparatory schools, and some district agricultural schools. He cites waste and high taxes, proposes an eight or nine institution system, and supports retrenchment with expanded primary education and consolidated rural schools. He also recommends invoking the initiative to reshape funding and structure.
