  • Public Higher Education in Vermont Maximizing the State’S Investment
    Public Higher Education in Vermont Maximizing the State’s Investment Report of the Governor’s Task Force on Higher Education November 15, 2009 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS The Task Force and Its Charge 3 Executive Summary 5 History of Public Education in Vermont 7 Recommendations 12 Continuum of Education 15 Areas of Possible Future Collaboration 18 Conclusion 24 Attachments 25 2 The Task Force and Its Charge Underlying the creation of the governor’s task force on higher education in January 2009 was the stark realization that spending for public education is seriously out of balance in Vermont. The state spends relatively little on early education, among the highest in the nation for primary and secondary education, and among the lowest in the nation for higher education.1 In light of this, Governor James H. Douglas, proposed a 20% increase in his 2010 budget for early and higher education based on his belief that an investment in lifelong learning is an investment in an individual’s economic independence, and that Vermont’s public higher education institutions must be affordable and accessible to Vermonters who need education and skills to succeed in the 21st century economy. 2 At the same time, the governor sought to inquire whether the current structure, administration, and program offerings of the state’s public higher education institutions are appropriate for today’s needs. This led him to create ―a working task force with the responsibility to find academic and administrative efficiencies that will be achieved through consolidation of our university and state college systems.‖ Although the governor assured the task force that he had no preconceived notion as to what type of consolidation activities might be effective and appropriate, he urged the task force to identify ways to improve services to students and the state and bring greater value to the state’s investment.

    Vermont Students, Workers Object to Tuition Dollars Being Used to Fund... http://truth-out.org/news/item/21682-vermont-students-workers-object-to-t... Thursday, 06 February 2014 00:00 By Jonathan Leavitt, Truthout | News Analysis Rising tuition, faculty cuts and non-living wages for janitors and food workers in Vermont institutions of higher learning are prompting student labor organizers to ask if tuition dollars should be used to exacerbate inequality. In Vermont, labor unrest in higher education is giving way to powerful new forms of adjunct, staff and student organization. At "progressive" Burlington College, once run by Bernie Sanders' wife, a controversial neoliberal "restructuring" has spurred restive students to dissolve their student government and form a "more democratic student union." At St. Michael's College, the mission statement of which is packed with social justice verbiage, the school has refused to give a contract to the first union in the Catholic College's 109-year history. In response, an "alt-labor" coalition of low-wage janitors, students and Vermont Workers' Center members has staged a series of rallies, dragging St. Mike's $434,000 per year President John J. Neuhauser back to the bargaining table. At the University of Vermont, shantytowns (to win divestment from apartheid) and occupations of the president's wing of the Waterman administration building (to win a more diverse faculty divest from war profiteering and protest tuition increases) are as much a prerequisite for a Catamount green- (Photo: Justin Henry / Flickr) and-gold graduation as any seminar. Yet despite hunger strikes and tent cities for livable wages for low-wage food service workers, French multinational corporation Sodexo, with $16 billion a year in revenue, is attempting to use the Affordable Care Act as a pretext to tear up low-wage food workers' health care, retirement and dental benefits.
