Panel Rejects College Merger

Print More

A panel considering the governor’s recommendation to consolidate the University of Vermont and Vermont State Colleges is recommending against merging the two institutions.

In releasing its draft report on Thursday, the task force said it is not in the best interest of the institutions or the state of Vermont to merge the two institutions.

But the panel says there are other ways UVM and the state colleges can collaborate to save money.

The panel says the two institutions should explore collaborating on curriculum in agriculture, education, nursing and engineering.
