Vermont’s state colleges poised to adopt unification plan for survival’s sake

Trustees of the Vermont State Colleges are poised to endorse a plan Monday in which all three of the system’s four-year schools would eventually merge into one “Vermont State University.”
The consolidation of Northern Vermont University, Castleton University, and Vermont Technical College under one common accreditation is part of a sweeping plan to make good on the system’s promise to transform itself in exchange for extra help from the state.
“It will be more student-focused, it will serve the state better, and it will get us to a place where we’re on a sounder financial footing,” state colleges Chancellor Sophie Zdatny said Friday.

Three schools of the Vermont State College System (VSCS) are set to be consolidated to form one “Vermont State University,” according to a proposal put forward by the Vermont State Colleges Board of Trustees.
VSCS trustees will meet today to make a final decision about the college consolidation plan first proposed last year after COVID impacted the financial position of state academic institutions.
If approved, three of the system’s four-year schools including Northern Vermont University, Castleton University, and Vermont Technical College will merge into one single institution. The Community College of Vermont will remain a standalone institution.
