Higher education in Utah is the subject of criticism from educators and laymen alike, and almost any citizen can find enough wrong to make caustic remarks about it. Facts however, and not opinions, are the best basis for judgment, and so Utah has appointed a Commission for the study of Public higher education in Utah. This Commission has recently written its own report and submitted the following is the second installment from the pages of this report. Unification of Control The Commission first recommended that all Public Higher Education Institutions be brought wider unified control under state board of higher education: 1. The Commission recommends the establishment of a State Board of Higher Education to consist of nine members, one member from each of the spates present judicial districts except that there should be three members from the third district. The term of office of the members of this Board should be nine years each; one member to be appointed each year. The members of this Board should be appointed by the governor with the confirmation of the senate. These appointees should be lay citizens and none of them should have professional educational responsibility. To avoid a serious break in the continuity of policy in the two major institutions, the governor should appoint to the new Board not more than three members from each of the present governing boards. It is suggested that these appointees should not include recently appointed members of the present institutional boards and that a majority of the membership of the new board ought not to be alumni of any single Institution in the state. It should be recognized that the state has In reality two and supported publicly-- controlled each of which has a different service emphasis. The Commission agrees with the sound recommendation of the 1926 Survey of the United States Office of Education that the two major institutions should study their problems and work toward the maximum development of their services in specialized areas for which each is best equipped. 2.

It has now become public and state universities, the adinmir-trativstructure for the public elementary and secondary schodls does not fall within the province of this Commission, to commend heartily the it Educational Survey Committee's approval of the reorganization of the State Education Department providing for an appointive State Commissioner of Education. It recognizes that under ideal circumstances all public education elementary, secondary, and higher should be under the general superv Mon of a single board and its professional staff. It realizes, however, that this is a step for the future and one toward which the state of Utah may readily proceed with the ultimate hope at some future time of attaining this unitary type of organization. 3. When the recommendation for the single State Board of Higher Education and the appointment of a chancellor is accepted, the legislature should repeal the statutes creating the present Board of Regents of the University, the Board of Trustees of the Slate Agricultural College, and the 1925 statute granting authority to the present State Board of Education over instructional duplication. The acceptance of the recommendation of a single control board for all Institutions above the twelfth grade would provide the basis for unification of the control and administration of these institutions. Such legislation should also provide for the assumption by the Board of Higher Education of all l esponslbllities and powers previously exercised by the existing beards. In a similar manner the legislature should repeal the statute of 1925 which mandated the State Board of Education to adont measures to eliminate and prevent "all unnecessary duplication of work or instruction iu any branch of the public school Bystem, and it shall require the governing hoards - - - to put the same Into operation. Despite the fact that It Is fifteen years since the passage of this statute, it is difficult to find evidence that it has been effectively employed. recom- mends that the Board of Higher Education should have an executive officer known as the chancellor who would be charged with the responsibility of handling the Board's major administrative policies in consultation with the officers of the respective institutions and who would act as the Boards executive officer. The chancellor should be a competent professional officer, experienced in college instruction and administration. To a large degree the success of this plan of organization will depend upon his professional ability and leadership. As the executive officer, he should be responsible for the effective administration of the policies adopted by the Board and should seek to secure cooperation and economical coordination between all Institutions under the Board's control. To permit him to discharge these responsibilities efficiently, he should have adequate assistance and financial support to assemble pertinent data and to make studies concerning the work of the several institutions upon the basis of which the Board may adopt its tre-iJei- wi-h- is tiu-ms- Democratic Platform Up For Discussion Sizes, Prices and Colors for Your Convenience 4-- WHIT'S GOODS EVERY FAMILY s Jo-op- ill" nt Community n .
