I fully support this and am glad Dooley is pushing for this. You cannot compare the state’s three higher ed institutions and lump them together. A community college, a mainly commuter college specializing in secondary/elementary ed majors, and then the flagship globally recognized institution. Hopefully Gina gets something right for once, but it looks like she’s already providing pushback per usual.

Re: Bill would give URI its own board of trustees
The more that URI can separate itself from RI state bureaucracy, the better it will do.

Back to the future. The Board of Regents replaced the Board of Trustees back in the ‘70s.

Re: Bill would give URI its own board of trustees
Sounds like it would be a similar model to what Umass, UConn and Vermont already have. Hope the Bill goes through quickly.
The latest iteration, a bill sponsored by House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello, would appoint a 17-member board of trustees to run the University of Rhode Island, a model followed by Vermont, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Re: Bill would give URI its own board of trustees
Sounds like this is getting the appropriate and logical support it needs. Gina is still on the fence, or her broom... one of the two.

Re: Bill would give URI its own board of trustees
All but four of the seventeen nominees earned degrees or received honorary degrees from URI. That last board that oversaw URI (and the other public colleges in RI) had just a few members with connections to URI. I believe there were actually more members of that board that had ties to PC than URI.
