Gov. Chris Sununu’s plan in his budget to consolidate the University System and the Community College System is supported by one body, but not the other.
The Senate Finance Committee heard both sides on Tuesday afternoon, including new details about an alternative model presented by the Community College System.
Catherine Provencher, chief administrative officer of the University System of New Hampshire, said a merger would be a tool to address the changes and future headwinds coming in to play with fewer students expected in the pipeline and the need to keep tuition manageable.
