STATE COUNCIL OF HIGtffiR EDUCATION FOR VIRGINIA Richmond, Virginia April 24-, 1968 Dr. Davis Y. Paschall , President The College of William and Mary Williamsburg, Virginia 23185 Dear Dr.Paschall: As requested in your letter of April 1, 1968, the State Council has reviewed the Resolution of March 23 regarding Christopher Newport College which the Board of Visitors of the College of William and Mary has under consideration. The Council is pleased to present to the Board its posi tion on the matter. The State Council of Higher Education is on record as supporting 4 Board of Visitors Resolution ---r6...,,--CN - Enclosure June 1, 1968 Page 4 of -:::-----5 pages the recommendation of the Higher Education Study Commission that Christopher Newport College develop into a degree-granting institution. This is the only state-controlled two-year branch college for which such a change is favored by the State Council. In its Virginia Plan for Higher Education , the Council recommended that all other branch colleges of the senior institutions he incorporated into the state system of com prehensive community colleges. The Virginia Plan for Higher Education does not designate the date on which an upper-level program should begin at Christopher Newport Col lege, and the State Council does not believe it would be appropriate for it to specify an exact date. The State Council believes the dates for implementing third and fourth year level work at Christopher Newport Col lege is a matter for determination by the Board of Visitors of the College of William and Mary • The Council does, however, invite the Boards atten tion to the following considerations: 1. The opening of the Thomas Nelson Commtmity College in Hampton in the Fall of 1968 may influence lower division enrollments at Christopher Newport. In a similar manner, Thomas Nelson Community College can he ex pected to provide a number of transferees to junior level status in the years ahead. While it is difficult to predict the precise nature of these developments, the Board of Visitors of the ' College of William and Mary, as more evidence becomes available,may wish to exercise leadership in seriously considering the feasibility of establishing Christopher Newport College as Virginia's first two-year, upper-level senior institution. 2. 'tl.lhen Christopher Newport offers an upper-level program, adequate provision should be made for accepting transfer students from community colleges in accordance with the articulation guidelines established by the Council with the concurrence of its advisory committees. 3. Upper-level programs at Christopher Newport should he designed to fit the unique needs of its immediate community. A primary emphasis in the planning of programs for Christopher Newport should he the pro vision of appropriate opportunities for part-time study in evening and Saturday classes. 4. Reasonable assurance of accreditation as a degree-granting in stitution by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools should be a condition for the establishment of Christopher Newport College as a senior institution. 5. It should he recognized that each proposed new degree program must he approved by the State Council of Higher Education prior to its implementation. The Council and its staff welcome the opportunity to work with institutions from the earliest stages of their academic program planning. Board of Visitors Resolution CN-4 Enclosure 67 June 1, 1968 Page 5 of 5 pages The Council hopes these observations will be of assistance to the Board of Visitors of the College of William and Mary as it charts the future course of Christopher Newport College.
