While merging New Hampshire’s Community College System and the University System may sound like a good idea, the details very quickly show how ill-fitting such a step would be. Forcing and rushing a merger between these institutions with very different missions, cost structures, cultures, business relationships and student bodies is a recipe for chaos at a time when higher education must to be on its game.
COVID-19 has affected the demographics of these institutions in very different ways. Residential four-year colleges, with large auxiliary services like athletics and residence halls, experienced major disruptions and multi-million-dollar costs over the past year, community colleges had different impacts and required very different strategies.
Gov. Chris Sununu says New Hampshire must move quickly to “get ahead of the crisis that is coming to its public university and community college systems.
“Where we are today is where we’ve been for 20 years and it is a dying system,” he said of the current status of the University System of New Hampshire and the Community College System of New Hampshire. “Both of these systems will fail if some sort of significant change isn’t made.” Enrollment continues to decline in both of these systems, Sununu said.
