“We just kind of struggle a little bit to see how allowing community colleges to offer four-year baccalaureate degrees is our best use of those finite education dollars we have in the state,” Obradovich said“
Idk dude maybe increase the dollars rather than try to funnel all the low income or cost conscious learners into 1-2 donor approved fields?
They already compete against public universities, why would this be any different? They just don’t want to compete at all, because that means the obscenely bloated admin paychecks may have to decrease
There are only three public universities that offer bachelor’s degrees in Iowa. Community colleges would absolutely increase the competition as community colleges could offer degrees closer to where people live.
