University System to study adult services BISMARCK, ND (NDPR) - The chancellor of the North Dakota University System says he will be taking a close look at how North Dakota's colleges and universities serve adults and non-traditional students.

Bill Goetz says he wants to establish an "adult education council."

"We need to make sure that our campuses are granting full opportunity to this population," said Goetz. "We need to address the delivery system, we need to address student services and financial aid."

Goetz says it will target individuals who may have had college courses, but have not finished a degree. He says some campuses are doing a very good job with adult education. But he says he'd like the system to do more.
