It is the intent of the Legislature that a study be conducted for the purpose of assessing the services and programs of the two public comprehensive institutions of higher education in this state. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education shall appoint a study committee by September 1, 1992, which shall include, but not be limited to, the presidents of the two public comprehensive institutions of higher education or their designees, and any person whom the State Regents determine would provide beneficial input into the study. The first meeting of the study shall be called by the chairperson of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education who shall then appoint the chairperson of the study. Staff assistance as needed to help complete the study shall be provided by the staff of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
Members of the study shall assess and review the missions and functions and the admission standards of the public comprehensive institutions specifically in the context of the provision in Section 11-103.5 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes that curricular recommendations of the Oklahoma Curricular Committee be sufficient to ensure that every student at every high school in this state shall have the opportunity to acquire all the competencies to matriculate at a comprehensive graduate institution within The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education without the necessity of enrolling at the university in secondary-level courses. The study shall also consider the outreach efforts of the institutions through centers of higher education.
The study shall recommend any modifications that would enhance the services at the two institutions to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and file a copy of the recommendations with the Governor, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate by December 31, 1992.
