136F.05 MISSIONS.
The mission of the board is to provide programs of study that meet the needs of students for
occupational, general, baccalaureate, and graduate education. The state universities, community
colleges, and technical colleges shall have distinct missions as provided in section 135A.052,
subdivision 1
. Within that statutory definition and subject to the approval of the board, each
community college, state university, and technical college may develop its own distinct campus
mission. The board shall develop administrative arrangements that make possible the efficient
use of the facilities and staff of the technical colleges, community colleges, and state universities
for providing these several different programs of study, so that students may have the benefit of
improved and broader course offerings, ease of transfer among schools and programs, integrated
course credit, coordinated degree programs, and coordinated financial aid. In carrying out the
merger of the three separate systems, the board shall control administrative costs by eliminating
duplicative administrative positions and course offerings.
