The Vermont State Colleges System Board of Trustees on Monday agreed to a wholesale transformation of the system, passing a resolution to merge Northern Vermont University, Castleton University and Vermont Technical College under one accreditation by July 1, 2023.
The New England Commission of Higher Education, the regional accrediting agency for post-secondary education, will have to sign off on the plan for it to move forward.
And state government â the executive branch and the Vermont General Assembly â will be called upon to provide additional funding to make the plan work.
The plan counts on finding administrative savings through consolidation, as well as investment in information technology and a virtual library serving the entire system.
