Please forward the above information to anyone in your area who may be interested in responding to the above proposals.

Comments or objections filed by an institution or by the commission to implementation of a proposed program must be based on the following:

• inconsistency of the proposed program with the institution's approved mission for a public institution of higher education and the mission statement published in the official catalog of a nonpublic institution of higher education;
• not meeting a regional or statewide need consistent with the State Plan for Post secondary Education;
• unreasonable program duplication which would cause demonstrable harm to another institution; or
• violation of the State's equal educational opportunity obligation under state and federal law.

Comments or objections shall be accompanied by detailed information supporting the reasons for objections.

Please forward comments to the Interim Senior Vice President for Academic & Student Services's office 12 days before response is due to MHEC.  Thank you.
