House committe - education comrr By Associated Prase A S.C. House committee has killed a bill that would have given the Commission on Higher Education authority to approve or veto plans by colleges and universities to eliminate programs. The House Education and Public Works Committee voted 9-6 to table the bill Tuesday after Clemson University lobbyist Wade > Green argued it would infringe on college trustee boards' powers and create "another level of bureaucracv" in state government. The Higher Education Commission is no better equipped than trustee boards to make decisions in the best interests of public colleges and universities, Green said. "THIS IS AN infringement on a management tool that each university must have if we are to cope with the budgetary situation we find ourselves in," he said. Green's argument won support from Rep.

LModel open, Sunday Z to e votes down lission bill university of ignoring a statewide need for teachers. The bill originally included language reduirine USC to re-estahlish its nnrlprornHimtp teacher education program. But that language was deleted by an education subcommittee after USC officials said they adjusted their plans to allow students take undergraduate teacher certification courses. The committee killed a provision requiring the education committees of the House and Senate to act jointly in certain appeals of CHE decisions. THE COMMISSION currently can eliminate programs that it thinks duplicate others in the higher education or technical college systems. But state law orovides that <?ithpr thp House or Senate education committee can overturn such a decision. Two years ago, the commission battled USC over the CHE's decision to phase out the university's two-year occupational programs, saying such programs should be limited to technical institutions. The CHE lost that fight when the House education committee overturned the commission decision. Rep. D.L. Ogburn, D-Kershaw, said Tuesday any legislation requiring joint action by House and Senate committees "would set a serious precedent." "There is no other occasion where committees of the House and Senate meet jointly to tajce official action," Ogburn said. "We may be taking an action that will come back to haunt us." i j lOUSC-FIYl !
