Attendees Matthea Daughtry Todd Leach Angel Perez Lou DiPalma Dr. Sally Reis Dan Egan James H. Page Joy Hearn James C.Q. Weggler James Purcell Carlos Santiago Joyce Judy Lou D’Allesandro Jeb Spaulding Dr. Ross Gittell Thomas Sullivan Michele Perkins Summary The Policy Committee began its meeting by discussing the NEBHE’s history of utilizing a policy agenda. The merits of doing so include the opportunity to use NEBHE’s policy and research capacity to reduce the likelihood of states reinventing the wheel on higher education proposals. Committee members discussed a number of policy topics, including: • The interstate passport, it’s role in keeping students in the region and limiting the likelihood of students losing credit when transferring • Other states’ ability to leverage their office of higher education, as well as handle staffing and bandwidth challenges • An annual comparative data report for the region • The financial viability of institutions and public investment • Collaborations/partnerships between public and private institutions (in light of enrollment decreases, etc.); NEBHE’s role in formalizing connections with employers • Affordability and completion as the crux of any agenda • Free college policies and how they impact regional enrollment and completion • A comparison of tax credits that incentivize graduates to stay in state • Re-engaging adults in higher education • Readiness, K-12 data and support for transitions • Opportunities to increase funding to postsecondary education, grant and scholarship aid Next Steps • NEBHE will create a summary of the meeting and discussion, for sharing with the Policy Committee • NEBHE will create, distribute and summarize a survey of other NEBHE Board members regarding key issues and priorities • NEBHE will summarize the key themes from the 2/13/17 meeting, along with those from the proposed Board survey, for sharing with the Board at the April meeting • NEBHE will explore the feasibility of a meeting of the Policy Committee at the April Board Meeting in Boston, TBD based on other meetings (Legislative Advisory Committee and State Higher Education Executive Officer meetings) • Otherwise, NEBHE staff will propose an alternative meeting date for follow up and further development of a draft of a formal, Policy Committee-informed Policy Agenda Issue Survey of the Board, March 2017: Results Board members were asked to identify the top three priority areas for their institution, organization or state. Next, board members were asked to rate the importance of policy areas that are trending regionally and nationally. Of the ten topics offered, the following were rated most important: • State student aid programs and adequacy • Employability of graduates • Competition for student admits (including tuition discounting) • Remedial education Areas that rated somewhat important included: • Adult and returning students • State longitudinal data systems to assess attainment, graduate outcomes and salaries • Dual enrollment and early college Areas that were rated least important included: • Undocumented students • Adult and returning students • Transfer of credits and articulation Finally, the board provided feedback on the types of information provided by NEBHE that are much useful to their work. The top five types of information were: • Legislative summaries from the past legislative session • Policy briefs on specific policy issues • Information on best practices and programs in specific topic areas • Landscape analysis of New England state policies in specific topic areas Summary The newly formed Commission on Higher Education and Employability is a regional endeavor of the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) to be chaired by Governor Gina Raimondo of Rhode Island. The expected duration of the Commission is 10 months. While New England is world-renowned for its high-quality colleges and universities, the region’s employers remain concerned about a lack of qualified, skilled workers, particularly in technology-intensive and growth- oriented industries. The challenges of low population growth and increasing global competitiveness require policymakers, business leaders and higher education to collaborate to maximize the region’s human capital potential, ensure the economic productivity of its workforce and improve the well-being of its residents. Purpose The purpose of the Employability Commission is to develop an action agenda, policy recommendations, strategies and next steps to align institutions, policymakers and industry to increase the career readiness of graduates of New England colleges and universities—and facilitate their successful transitions to work and sustained contributions to the well-being and competitiveness of the region.

  • Vermont State Capitol AV Systems Renovation
    Vermont State Capitol AV Systems Renovation CONCEPTUAL ASSESSMENT AND NARRATIVE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Funding was appropriated in FY 2019 to the Sergeant at Arms to contract with a third party to conduct an assessment of the sound system in the State House and 1 Baldwin Street pursuant to 2 V.S.A.§ 62(a)(8). This document constitutes that assessment, and presents a summary of findings and recommendations for renovations of the Audio/Visual (AV) systems at the Vermont State Capitol. The design concepts and recommendations described in this document are based on a needs analysis performed by K2 during a site visit completed on September 27, 2018, and the conversations held at that time with stakeholders for the State. It is intended that this report be used for review of the conceptual design and cost estimates, and to guide the future development of detailed AV designs and the subsequent installation of the AV systems. Background Most of the audio and video systems currently in place at the Vermont State Capitol have reached the end of their expected lifespan or will be at that point soon. Many have been modified and upgraded over the years with incremental changes that provided the functionality needed by the State at the time of the upgrade. This has resulted in many systems that are not cohesive and are difficult to troubleshoot. There is serious concern about the health of critical systems including microphones and sound reinforcement systems at both Chambers. Because of their age and custom nature, it is difficult or impossible to find replacement parts for many of the existing systems.

Vermont State House, 115 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633 Year completed**: 1859 Architectural style: Renaissance Revival FYI: The senate chamber still has its original furnishings, plus working gas lamps, and a “gasolier”—a gaslight chandelier that was rediscovered elsewhere in 1979, refurbished, and reinstalled in the chamber. New York State Capitol, State St. and Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12224 Year completed**: 1899 Architectural style: Italian Renaissance/French Renaissance/Romanesque FYI: The Western staircase inside New York’s capitol has been dubbed the “Million Dollar Staircase,” because it cost more than a million dollars to build—in the late-1800s, no less.
