Illinois Administrative Code › Title 23 - EDUCATION AND CULTURAL RESOURCES › Part 1070 - A MASTER PLAN FOR POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION IN ILLINOIS › Subpart E - INSTITUTIONS › Section 1070.501 - Programmatic Directions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The

				of financial resources.
b) Public
				universities and private colleges and universities should continue to
				facilitate the transfer of students from community colleges.
c) All colleges and universities should
				explore fully the possibilities of the development of cooperative programs with

d) More complete integration of postsecondary
				education should be accomplished through the greater involvement of the private
				sector in statewide program planning and coordination.
e) More formal mechanisms for communicating
				the program plans and resources of private institutions to the Board of Higher
				Education should be developed. This should be done to assure that new programs
				in the public and private sector do not unnecessarily duplicate other programs
				in either sector and that existing programs effectively use the public
				resources supplied to them.
f) As a
				general rule, the Board of Higher Education will not approve additional
				programs in architecture, agriculture, teacher education, engineering, and
				foreign languages. Whenever approval is given in these areas, the programs
				should relate to existing undergraduate or graduate programs.
g) As a general rule, the Board of Higher
				Education will not approve additional doctoral and sixth-year programs, but in
				any event such programs will be approved only at institutions which have
				existing doctoral or sixth-year programs.

				should more closely articulate their various public service activities,
				programs, courses, and services with those of other institutions and agencies
				which may be affected by such efforts.

				institutional academic offerings. Public service activities should be
				consistent with the program directions of the institution and should develop
				from institutional capabilities and priorities.
c) Cooperative public service efforts are to
				be encouraged within and among institutions in the public and private sectors.
				Postsecondary education institutions are encouraged to seek cooperative public
				service arrangements with public and private service agencies and
				organizations.
d) Institutions
				should not ordinarily duplicate professional continuing education courses or
				programs traditionally offered under the purview of professional organizations
				or associations, but should develop continuing professional education
				activities that complement those offered by professional associations, and
				should co-sponsor such activities when this would strengthen the activities.
				Public institutions should usually conduct such efforts on a cost-recovery
				basis.

				commensurate with the recipients' ability to pay.

				information system in conjunction with the Board's present data collection
				mechanisms. This will provide a means for improving the coordination of higher
				education programs, for assessing the level of resource requirements, and for
				maintaining a current inventory of existing public service programs and
				activities. The information system could also be utilized in assessing needs,
				evaluating planning, developing policies, and in providing information to
				member institutions.
