| Intro UNH President Return to index of stories... |
New Hampshire was a very different place a hundred forty years ago when the University of New Hampshire was founded. More than 10-thousand students now attend the land, sea and space-grant university. And there are big challenges ahead. A new president started work this week. Dr. Ann Weaver Hart joined me to discuss those challenges. We started off by talking about her first impressions of the Granite State. |

What has your New Hampshire experience been like so far???? how is this job different than your previous job - provost and vp for academic affairs at claremont graduate university what are some of your major goals at unh? What do you hope to accomplish? Technology has become an important tool in our society. What role does Technology have in the University? ? What challenges does the University face in developing technology based learning? There's been some tension in the past in previous negotiations between the faculty union and the administration. how will you approach the issue? The state is facing a revenue shortfall. How has the University been affected? Issues of diversity come up a lot in a state as homogenous as New Hampshire. In fact, the University was criticized for its recruiting policies. One legislator called them quotas. Is diversity important for the University? How will you address that? UNH is a land grant University. What does that mean to you? And what does that mean in the 21st century. How important is it to work with the community? The Universit gets a lot of funding from the State Legislature. What kind of relationship would you like to cultivate with state officials? New Hampshire Public Television is a licensee of the University. I hope you see us as an asset. Have you had a chance to think about the role Public Television has to play in the state? |

Most of the students at UNH are in their twenties. But New Hampshire also has a school for adult learners: The College for life long learning. It too has a new president who was inaugurated this spring. I recently had a chance to talk with Dr. Tom Rocco. He spoke of the need to provide the same financial aid and scholarship funds for adult learners as those that are provided for younger students. |

| Clinic Fined Return to index of stories... |
-- One of the busiest general medical centers in central New Hampshire has been fined by the state for violating labor laws. Concord's Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic has been fined one thousand dollars for pushing several employees to work too many hours without breaks and not paying them for all their time. The violations are relatively minor, but former clinic workers say they reflect many cost-cutting changes brought about by a reorganization two years ago. One former worker said that ever since, staff members found themselves working harder and faster. A spokeswoman for the clinic said it acted quickly to correct the problems. She said it involved a small number of workers at the Concord site. It is the second time the clinic has violated state labor laws. |
