Vermont state schools may merge accreditation of 3 campuses
December 23, 2020 GMT
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) A Vermont select committee has recommended changes to address fiscal challenges within the Vermont State Colleges system, including putting Castleton University, Northern Vermont University and Vermont Technical College under one accreditation.
This merger would grant students greater access to programs across the system and maintain a physical presence across the state, Vermont Public Radio reported.
Vermont State Colleges Chancellor Sophie Zdatny said the recommendation did not call to close locations and will allow schools to “function more as a system and less as a federation of institutions.”

Fortunately, Vermont authors have not stopped churning out fresh tales to keep us entertained, informed and enlightened this year. If anything, pandemic downtime appears to have delivered an abundance of new offerings. You ll find evidence of that productivity in the following pages.
Smoking Gun? [Re Weinberger Knew of Burlington Police Chief s Anonymous Twitter Account, December 15]: There is one way to get to the bottom of the mayor s apparently false account of the actions he claims to have taken when he learned of the chief s online activities. If he took the chief s gun and badge, there would be documentation at the police department regarding the disposition of those sensitive items. In fact, there should be a record of the mayor turning them in within a day or so of him taking them from the chief. Such records would give great weight to the mayor s version of events.
