CCSNH Chancellor Susan Huard issued the following statement on the proposed creation of single public higher education system in New Hampshire:

“Changes affecting higher education make it important to explore whether new ways of doing things can add value to students and the communities we serve.  We are aware other states have experienced real and prolonged challenges in trying to combine higher ed systems and we would hope to identify ways to be successful here in New Hampshire.   As this proposal moves through the legislative process, we proceed with an open mind and an eye toward what will best serve students and the State. There are sure to be a number of questions to be explored once we see the details of the proposal.”
