RESOLUTION : Supporting the Continuing of the Indiana Vocational <br /> Technical College <br /> r <br /> Whereas : The Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana , is <br /> cognizant of the importance of continuing Ivy Tech as an integral part <br /> of our education program, which affect the St. Joseph Valley Region , <br /> composed of Elkhart, Kosciusko, Marshall and St . Joseph Counties and <br /> Whereas differences of opinion between the State School Superintendent <br /> of Instruction and the State Governing Board, Local Board of Trustees <br /> and Faculty have been found to exist with respect to methods of <br /> operations and of the usefulness of the school to the St. Joseph <br /> Valley Region and <br /> Whereas it is a well substantiated fact that in its relatively short <br /> time of operation that Ivy Tech is and will be of great value to the <br /> citizenry of the St. Joseph Valley Region if it is allowed to continue <br /> in its present direction without interference from the Superintendent <br /> of Public Instruction and <br /> Whereas the Governor ' s reducing the State Board for Vocational- <br /> Technical Education of its strength for the operation of Ivy Tech <br /> and assigning the responsibility to the Superintendent of State Public <br /> Instruction is unsound, unrealistic and unjust to the efficient manner <br /> of operating Ivy Tech . <br /> Now , therefore , be it resolved by the Common Council of the City of <br /> South Bend that we wish to make of Record our strong support that Ivy <br /> Tech be administered by its State Governing Board, the Local Board of <br /> Trustees and that the Governor honor the intent of the law as directed <br /> by the General Assembly . <br /> I <br />
