The New College Institute is charged with, among other things, expanding educational opportunities in the region by providing access to degree-granting programs, including undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, through partnerships with private and public institutions of higher education, the public schools, and public and private sectors; and seeking to diversify the regions economy by engaging the resources of other institutions of higher education, public and private bodies, and organizations of the region and state. The institute will be governed by a 12-member Board of Directors appointed as follows: seven nonlegislative members to be appointed by the Governor, three members to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Delegates, and two members to be appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules. The Board would direct the development and focus of New Colleges curriculum. The curriculum would include appropriate and nondegree programs offered by other educational institutions.
