New MnSCU Chancellor Promises to Shake Things Up
ST. PAUL (AP) - The new chancellor of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is promising to redesign the 31-campus institution.
Chancellor Steven Rosenstone tells the MnSCU trustees on Tuesday that the greatest risk to the system is business as usual.
In an hour-long speech, Rosenstone said he wants to the ensure access to students from all backgrounds, increase job-training partnerships with businesses and deliver a high-quality education at good price.
To do that, he's willing to reconsider nearly everything MnSCU does. He says it could mean a single online English 101 class system-wide, for instance, and more cost sharing with the University of Minnesota.
Rosentone says he plans to come back with more specifics in November. Rosenstone took over Aug. 1 after spending 15 years at the University of Minnesota.
St. Cloud State University and the St. Cloud Technical and Community College are both part of the MnSCU system.
