Homer Durham, Utah Commissioner of Higher Education and chief executive officer of the Board of Higher Education told Ogden Rotary members. Utah already has the most efficient, and economical, system of quality public higher education of any jurisdiction in the world, Commissioner Durham said. He told the Rotarians that instituting several programs, to further increase that performance record would be difficult, But we will try, he said.
