Support needed for higher ed programs, Oklahoma chancellor says - Cass Rains, CNHI

Oklahoma State System of Higher Education Chancellor Glen D. Johnson spoke Monday to members of Enid Rotary Club and their guests about the state of higher education amid continuing budget concerns. Johnson leads a state system comprised of 25 state colleges and universities, 10 constituent agencies, two university centers, and independent colleges and universities coordinated with the state system. He reports to a constitutional board whose nine members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate. Johnson became eighth chancellor of the Oklahoma State System in January 2007 after a national search. Before assuming the role of chancellor, Johnson served as the 16th president of Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant for 10 years. He said the system of higher education was facing “significant” change in the face of continuing budget shortfalls. http://www.mcalesternews.com/oklahoma/news/support-needed-for-higher-ed-programs-oklahoma-chancellor-says/article_76ddbad2-28b2-5d2b-baba-da9306bfc3bd.html
