OKLAHOMA CITY—Geographical limitations cited in a report released Wednesday by the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education contradict the expanding role of Central State University, one regent said. Area colleges offering freshman and sophomore-level courses are hampered by confusion and a separately-operated votech system, according to the study prepared by a nationally-recognized education expert. Dr. Dale Parnell, president of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, focused on five institutions and suggested methods to maximize quality and efficiency. CSU, El Reno Junior College (ERJC), Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC), Oklahoma State University Technical Branch—Oklahoma City (OSUTB) and Rose State College (RSC) were studied. Regents estimate a two-month wait for any substantive recommendations from the report, but legislative action could be forthcoming, said George Kaiser, regents' chairman at a capitol press conference. A college district plan would not include CSU and RSC, but involve only Oklahoma City community colleges. CSU should rely on current strengths, according to the report. Using current resources, OSUTB should merge with ERJC, and OCCC if enough tax support exists, the report cited. Please see REPORT on page 2.
