Trustees approve graduate program proposal
The Metropolitan State College of Denver Board of Trustees on Dec. 3 voted to authorize President Stephen Jordan to continue the process of researching the feasibility of modifying statutory language to allow Metro State to offer master’s degree programs.
“This vote gives me the go-ahead to continue testing the water regarding legislative approval for us to offer master’s degrees,” Jordan said during a break. “We already have been meeting one-on-one with legislators and many of the other higher education and community leaders to gauge their support, and if, at any time, we decide it is not prudent to continue, the process will be stopped.”
The 7-1 vote came after a presentation by Jordan and a prolonged discussion of the proposal, in which every trustee went on record with their concerns and support for or against it. (Chair Adele Phelan did not vote as there was no tie.)
