TITLE:
First Annual Report and Recommendations of the State Board for Higher Education.
PUBLICATION_DATE:
1977
ABSTRACT:
After three years of self-study, Maryland has emerged with a reorganized state-level coordinating agency. The mandate of the Board extends beyond
the interests of the individual colleges and universities that make up
the system, to embrace all aspects of the delivery of educational services
to the citizens of the state. The Board finds that the need exists to
evaluate the effectiveness of existing and new programs to determine the
extent to which these programs are attaining their objectives. In its
first annual report, the areas reviewed are: the status of higher education
in the state (including enrollment, costs, degrees awarded, trends in
racial composition, and student progress); issues in and recommendations
for master planning, finance, student loan programs, equal educational
opportunity, and accreditation and approval; and Board activities. The
Board's organizational chart and committee memberships are included, as
is a list of its publications. (Editor/MSE)
