Programs improved ' High costs may close ag school doors By Dionne searcey Senior Editor High operating costs may force the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture at Curtis to close its doors despite improvements the campus has made in its programs, an official said. Irv Omtvedt, vice chancellor for the Institute of Agriculture and Natu ral Resources, said that although the campus has gained several new hands on programs and made other educa tional improvements, the cost per student is still too high. The cost per student of the up to 200 students who are registered fo this fall’s classes will be about $8,400 In 1990-91, the cost per student wa: $10,488 for 144 students. At the NU Board of Regents meet ing Saturday in Keamey, Omtved said, a review team praised curricu lum changes on the campus, which ii administered by the University o Nebraska-Lincoln. The troubled school closed its door in 1988. The college started up agaii that same year when former Gov Kay Orr recommended that the cam pus be given five years to rccstablisl r us programs. The campus was to oe reviewed by an outside team in three ; years, which has happened. Omtvedt said technical college programs are expensive, but com pared to similar institutions, costs at Curtis are higher. Progress had been made, however, p he said. “Each year since the school was reestablished, the cost per student has 1 gone down,” Omtvedt said. 1 But the campus still needs about 300 students to reduce the cost per student to an acceptable level, he 1 said. • • + • UJNL committee to review admissions policy From Staff Reports University of Nebraska Executive Vice President and Provost Lee Jones will lead a committee charged with reviewing the university’s admissions policy.
