Senate Bill 72: make an appropriation to initiate a master of social work degree program in higher education.

February 5, 2009

I don't think I have ever seen a push for a certain degree from the legislature itself.  Is this a slap in the face to the Board of Regents for not recognizing this area?  Possibly.  Even though the "U" is granted this degree I think this would have been a great addition to the Graduate Program at Dakota State University with our recent emphasis on Health Information Systems.  Just a thought.  Also some legislatures have this crazy notion that we need to close a university.  Hasn't anyone noticed that North Dakota (less populated then South Dakota) has 11 state higher educational institutions and they seem to be able to adequately fund their k12 schools?  I also noticed that the technical schools are asking for $2 million when the BOR is forced to make cut backs...including the reassignment of the School of the Blind
