Malloy & MCCS President David Daigler  \nRE: 2024 Public Higher Education System Coordinating Committee Report  \nSenator Rafferty, Representative Brennan and distinguished members of the Joint Standing Committee on Education & Cultural Affairs:  \nThe University of Maine System ( UMS) and the Maine Community College System ( MCCS) prepare Maine’s workforce and ensure all Mainers have the opportunity to realize the transformative power of public postsecondary education.  \nSince 2003, UMS and MCCS have collectively awarded more than 150,000 degrees and credentials, more than two-thirds of those earned through UMS and the remainder through MCCS. Robust enrollment and a range of educational options from short-term workforce training to advanced graduate degrees are critical to our institutions’ leadership role in helping the State meet its statutory goal of having 60% of Mainers holding a degree or credential of value by 2025 , which is also a goal of Maine’s 10-year economic strategy. As founding members of MaineSpark, the state’s two public higher education institutions actively work to support that goal.  \nIn Fall 2023 , the two public systems enrolled 38,557 students—24 , 134 at UMS and 14 ,423 at MCCS. In addition, 5 ,054 high school students earned free early college credits through MCCS and 4 ,724 through UMS, with some students participating in courses through both systems.  \nThere are also thousands of students participating in short-term workforce training at Maine’s community colleges, which are a critical component to help Maine meet its 60% attainment goal. Those programs take less than a year to complete, and MCCS is on track to enroll 24 ,000 Mainers in short-term workforce training programs by 2025 , with many of those students earning an industry-recognized credential of value or an academic credential such as a medical assisting certificate. Tens of thousands of Mainers also participate each year in non-credit bearing UMS educational programs, including more than 30 ,000 youth who participate in University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H programming annually.  \nShared services and sites  \nMaine’s public universities and community colleges have a long tradition of working together. They are doing so now more closely than ever before given the needs of Maine students and employers and the institutions’ imperative to achieve efficiencies and savings through partnership.  \nAs required by Public Law 2015 , Chapter 261 , the leaders of both UMS and MCCS and their Boards of Trustees’ Chairs comprise the Public Higher Education Systems Coordinating Committee ( HECC) , which is expected to advance, and report annually to the Governor and Legislature about, shared efforts to promote efficiency, cooperation and strategic planning. This memo serves as that report for 2024 , and is intended to demonstrate our public systems’continued commitment to collaboration by highlighting new and most notable initiatives.  \nAs mentioned in prior HECC reports, the two public systems have so-called “piggyback clauses”in their requests for proposals and contracts that allow for procurement of goods and services by the other system under equal pricing and terms—creating economies of scale and efficiency. Leveraging this, in 2021 , MCCS, as well as Maine Maritime Academy ( MMA) and the State of Maine, joined UMS in contracting with Gordian, a third-party that benchmarks capital needs. By doing so, we have been able to ascertain that collectively, Maine’s public institutions of higher education are burdened with more than $2 billion in deferred maintenance and imminent infrastructure need: $1 .65 billion across Maine’s seven public universities and law school, $263 million across Maine’s seven community colleges and $96 million at MMA.  \nIncreasingly, UMS and MCCS are partnering on federal grants and other externally funded ini","cbCailkWeKI9sEWc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailkWeKI9sEWc","pdf",362457,12,"English","# 2024 Report Overview\n## Mission and Shared Attainment Goal\n## Enrollment and Early College Credits\n## Short-Term Workforce Training and Non-Credit Programs\n## Shared Services and Sites\n## Procurement Efficiencies and Deferred Maintenance\n## Federal Grants and Workforce Initiatives","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 2024 HECC report to the committee?\",\"answer\":\"It reports annually to the Governor and Legislature on shared efforts and demonstrates the systems’ commitment to collaboration through new and notable initiatives.\"},{\"question\":\"How did UMS and MCCS enroll students in Fall 2023?\",\"answer\":\"They enrolled 38,557 students total, including 24,134 at UMS and 14,423 at MCCS.\"},{\"question\":\"What major infrastructure need does the report describe?\",\"answer\":\"Through contracting to benchmark capital needs, it states Maine’s public higher education institutions face more than $2 billion in deferred maintenance and imminent infrastructure needs.\"}]","2024 Public Higher Education System Coordinating Committee Report | PDF",1792053132]
