- Summary:
-
The Resource Group on Proprietary Schools in Connecticut Postsecondary Education, formed by the Connecticut Commission for Higher Education, studied the 50 private, profit-making schools licensed by the State Board of Education to give vocational instruction. The basis for recommendations made by the group was that proprietary schools be more closely integrated into the postsecondary education system to maximize choices for students and to use state expenditures more efficiently. The group's 14 specific recommendations are characterized by four stated needs: (1) to recognize the legitimacy of proprietary schools in higher education; (2) to maintain flexibility and responsiveness, the greatest strength of the proprietary sector; (3) to protect the autonomy of these schools; and (4) to insure equitable treatment of proprietary school students. Specific suggestions for the proprietary sector involve representation on the Commission for Higher Education, participation in program planning and coordination, a representative organization, contracts for student spaces, student financial assistance, an information system, provisions for degree-granting authority and for information dissemination, and creation of a master plan for the state. Pertinent public laws and organization bylaws are included in the appendices. (Author/MSE)
