1
|
number of state constitutions that include phrases or
|
|
2
|
clauses, and even in the case of, I think it is Missouri
|
|
3
|
THE CHAIRLADY: Massachusetts, with regard
|
|
4
|
to Harvard.
|
|
5
|
DR. BARD: Well, Massachusetts has a large
|
|
6
|
description as to the role of Harvard, et cetera, and
|
|
7
|
Missouri actually goes into the community college law
|
|
8
|
of Missouri at this time, and that is a fairly recent
|
|
9
|
one. Would you include in the Constitution any state-
|
|
10
|
ment with respect to higher education?
|
|
11
|
DR. PULLEN: I thought I touched on that,
|
|
12
|
Dr. Bard. Yes, I would, I don't know exactly how I
|
|
13
|
would write it, but I should certainly provide for the
|
|
14
|
establishment, the proper conduct of nnd so on. Then
|
|
15
|
I would write in there a provision — I think this is a
|
|
16
|
general provision with respect to education, but it cuts
|
|
17
|
across all government -- that no function of government
|
|
18
|
shall be denied to any individual, to any qualified
|
|
19
|
individual for any reason whatsoever.
|
|
20
|
I am trying to get the point over here that
|
|
21
|
in Maryland we are denying higher education to people
