The Chancellor, the President» and their staffs have review the third category of substantive policy issues in light of prior recommenda- tions by the HEP Commission, and decisions by the Board of Trustees, the legislature, and the people of the Stale. The Board of Trustees must re- sponsibly consider many factors In deciding issues facing the University of Maine In addition to economic costs and benefits, human, social, cultural and .geographical influence must enter any decisions involving educational opportunity for all our dtirens.
