-
The final recommendations are presented for the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board's study to assess the future viability of Minnesota's community colleges and vocational-technical institutes (V-TEC). After introductory material noting that the study was initiated in anticipation of enrollment declines and fiscal hardships, the report outlines six conditions and planning assumptions established by the study: the missions of the two systems overlap; many communities are served by both a community college and a V-TEC institute; declining enrollments will increase competition for students and resources; resources from both systems should be combined where necessary; maintaining small institutions will become financially difficult; and the separate systems governing the community colleges and the V-TEC institutions will become increasingly inappropriate. Three alternatives for combatting anticipated problems are then discussed: providing all institutions with sufficient appropriations to retain a minimal core of services, regardless of enrollment; closing low-enrollment institutions; or restructuring the state's postsecondary educational system. Final recommendations are then presented, calling for: the creation of a combined governing board for both systems; the establishment of regional administrative units; the preservation of the mission of General College; and the structuring of the vocational education role of the state's university system.
