ABSTRACT REORGANIZATION OF PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION IN MASSACHUSETTS: PRELEGISLATION OPINION ON SELECT ISSUES BY STATE LEGISLATORS, SEGMENTAL BOARDS OF TRUSTEES, SPECIAL COMMISSION STAFF, FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATORS COMPARED WITH ACTUAL LEGISLATION (February, 1982) James J. Pasquini, A.S., Berkshire Community College B.S., North Adams State College, M.Ed., North Adams State College M.B.A., Western New England College, Ed.D., University of Massachusetts Directed by: Professor G. Ernest Anderson, Jr. This study examines the problems and possible solutions in Massachusetts Public Higher Education prior to and during the 1980 reorganization. The opinions and attitudes of state legislators, segmental boards of trustees, public college faculty and administrators were used as a data source. Then, it was necessary to assess the enacted legislation to determine to what extent the expectations of the survey group regarding reorganization were met, and what possible legislative revisions could be recommended to make the system function better. The procedures used to administer and analyze the data were two questionnaires. The prelegislative survey was forwarded to four hundred and forty-four people in the field of public higher education and higher legislators, to determine their input on select issues in public one education. The post-legislative questionnaire was administered to vi hundred and fifty people who participated in the first survey. Sixty percent of the select population responded to the prelegislative survey and seventy-four percent responded to the post-legislative question- naire. The post-legislative survey attempted to determine the opinions on select issues of the same select group of people, now that reorganiza- tion is being implemented. It was also a tool to see whether the input and expectations of respondents were utilized in reorganizing the public higher education system in the Commonwealth. The following summary statements represent the more significant areas uncovered in the prelegislative survey and the post-legislative survey: 1. The data revealed that the majority of the respondents do not be- lieve that each institution should have its own local board of trustees. 2. A significant number of respondents disagreed that the five sepa- rate segmental boards of trustees should be structured under one single board. 3. The respondents indicated that public higher education should not be organized into geographic regions. opposed to 4. The study revealed that a majority of respondents are private the appointment of board members who are employed by higher education making decisions for public higher education. 5. A majority of the respondents agreed that there should be a screening and selection process similar to that utilized in the judicial system when appointing board members. 6. The data indicated that if the public universities, state colleges and community colleges were merged under one board, respondents feel that the institutions would lose their own individual identities. 7. The study revealed that the legislative and executive branches are perceived to have too much input in the operation of public higher education institutions. 8. The data revealed that the respondents did not see the Secretary of Education's department performing an important function in the coordination of public higher education. 9. An overwhelming majority of respondents indicated that one agency should coordinate all program development for public higher education. 10. The findings indicated that the respondents agreed that upon receipt of the annual appropriation, institutions should have the autonomy to allocate their funds without legislative or executive control the 11. The study indicated that the respondents disagreed with public statements that faculty and presidents at institutions of higher education are overpaid. vii i 12 . In analyzing all occupational categories, the majority of the respondents indicated that there should be no institutional representation with voting privileges, on the Board of Regents or the local boards of trustees. However, the statistics did show that the category "Legislator" and "Faculty" did support institutional representation. 13. The study revealed that the Board of Regents should have approval over all institutional budgets, but not be involved in the daily management of institutions. 14. The findings indicate that the Regents' authority with respect to personnel should only be to coordinate , and to leave personnel management to the various institutions. 15. The data showed that students should have a member on the local Board of Trustees at each institution. There are additional opinions, attitudes and expectations that were reviewed and presented in this study. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ABSTRACT . Chapter I.

  • Carlisle Public Schools
    Carlisle Public Schools The Carlisle Public School and the Carlisle School Committee worked together in 2016 to provide an excellent educational experience for the children of Carlisle. There were some changes that inevitably occur in an organization, but our mission statement continued to guide all that we do: The mission of the Carlisle Public Schools is to provide a collaborative and caring community in which each student is known, understood, and valued so that students can learn to their fullest potential in a safe, inclusive environment with high expectations and clear standards for all. The School Committee managed the biggest change in the district in 2016 with the hiring of a new superintendent, James F. O’Shea, following the resignation of Dr. Joan Wickman at the end of 2015. Parents, students, and community members were involved in the superintendent search, which was an exhaustive and thorough process, facilitated by the consulting firm of HYA Associates. In addition to the mission statement cited above, the district vision statement provided a yardstick for evaluating candidates for the school’s leadership: The vision of the Carlisle Public Schools is to inspire intellectual and ethical excellence so our students are prepared to participate with integrity in a global community. Mr. O’Shea began his work in Carlisle in August and immediately engaged staff and parents, and in September, met our students. He spent the first months of his tenure learning about the school and about Carlisle through attending both town and school events and meeting citizens and town officials. In other personnel changes, two long- serving teachers, Mimi Chandler and Patricia Comeau, retired after many years of dedicated service.

  • 1983: Improvements Have Been Made to Schools, Water Projects, Recreation Facilities, Elderly Housing, and Highway Department Buildings
    THE COVER To the Citizens of West Newbury: Pictured on the cover are the subjects of several projects under­ taken or completed during 1983: improvements have been made to schools, water projects, recreation facilities, elderly housing, and highway department buildings. These efforts reflect the cooperative and productive environment which existed among departments and town committees in 1983. Broad based committees with representatives from our schools, the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, and interested towns­ people have undertaken reviews of school facilities. Major ex­ terior repairs have been defined for the Page School. Now educa­ tional programs are being assessed in terms of renovations to the Page and Central Schools. The town may be asked this spring to place all our elementary educational programs in the Page School. 1983 also marked the completion of the new water tank, pumping station and meter pit by the Water Department. A new long-term contract for water has been agreed to in principle with Newbury­ port, at reduced rates for West Newbury citizens. In the foreground of the picture are two professional quality horse rings and a new Highway Department salt shed. The horse rings were built with a lot of help by the Riding and Driving Club. We now have outstanding equistrian facilities which are used by townspeople and are rented to groups to help pay for further improvements to the area. The salt shed was built with a grant from the Commonwealth and will help pnotect the environ­ ment and highway department equipment. The Mill Pond Committee is working hard with the help of several townspeople and the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission to clean up the pond.

  • River Hawks' Hockey: Centerpiece of “A Whole New Culture”
    UMass MAGAZINE FALL 2007 VOLUME 10 Tsunami NUMBER 3 at the Tsongas River Hawks’ Hockey: Centerpiece of “a Whole New Culture” A Message from the Chancellor I want to reaffirm what I said when I was selected as Chancellor last spring: It is a great honor to have this opportunity to lead the University of Massachusetts Lowell. This campus impresses me more each day as I get to know our extraordinary faculty, administrators, staff and students. Many people have helped me this past year as I have transitioned to a new position, but I want to mention one person in particular, former Chancellor William T. Hogan. I want to thank him for his commitment to UMass Lowell and for the invaluable advice and counsel he continues to provide to me through this transition. I bring passion to this job and a special understanding of the character of the campus—now comes the joy of the work. There is much to do, and I will need every one of you to help achieve our lofty goals in teaching, research and service. We begin this fiscal year facing a serious budget challenge—a $3 million deficit that required us to trim spending and identify ways to operate more efficiently. The financial realities of public higher education demand that we extract maximum value from each dollar spent, and then act as entrepreneurs to grow our resources. The next few years will be a time of building. We will construct an emerging technologies center to unleash the potential of our research on nanomanufacturing and biomanufacturing.

  • Tewksbury-1970.Pdf (7.214Mb)
    Tewksbury - Known For The Companies It Keeps! WANG LABORATORIES, INC. The executive offices, engineering and manufacturing facilities of Wang Laboratories, Inc. are located on a Company-owned site of about 84 acres adjoining Interstate Route 495, in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. Sales and service offices are located in major cities of the United States, Canada and more than 35 nations around the world. The Company's stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Of the fifteen hundred people employed by Wang, 670 of those are located in the home office and are drawn from the Tewksbury - Lowell - Lawrence areas. Wang has a history of pioneering; preparing for followers. Founded in 1951, by Dr. An Wang to develop and market magnetic core devices and related digital circuit components, the Com- pany took a major step in 1964; entering the desk-top computer business and moving to its present location in Tewksbury. By the late 1960's users of Wang equipment increased at the rate of ten thousand a year. The calculations performed on Wang equipment range from science and engineering to applications in business, industry, finance, statistics, education and medicine. The technology involved in the design and manufacture of the Company's products is complex and subject to constant change. Accordingly, Wang Laboratories is committed to an extensive program of research and development. Wang Laboratories now has a calculator to suit every need in the entire price range of high performance electronic calculators. The outlook for the 1970's is one of further development and growth by bringing out still more new products of wide utility, in the tradition of the broad line of Wang series electronic calculators.
