Richard Bland College, facing governance challenges as an anomaly in Virginia's higher education system, is urged to establish its own independent board while exploring potential mergers or integrations.
Aimee Rogstad Guidera emphasized that current governance structures are ineffective, stating, 'The status quo is not working.' She recommends immediate action to form an independent governing board.
The memo provided to Governor Youngkin suggests that while merging with a four-year institution or joining the community college system are options, none present a clear advantage over establishing an independent board.
Guidera concluded that the state must undertake 'additional diligence' to evaluate governance options for Richard Bland College, highlighting the complexity and potential consequences of each choice.
