Critics: Consolidation of Nev. higher ed system a power grab
By Ian Whitaker, Las Vegas Sun
Late last year higher education officials controversially voted to merge campus police at two Reno colleges with the UNR police department.
Then, last month, administrators proposed centralizing the Nevada System of Higher Education’s registration system. At that same meeting, the Board of Regents reaffirmed their vision for a strong, single system to oversee higher education in Nevada.
Now, system officials are considering whether the UNLV police department should take over enforcement duties for the College of Southern Nevada and Nevada State College.
