UPDATE: New MnSCU chancellor formally installed
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The newly installed chancellor of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system says he’s heard from students about rising tuition costs — and he gets it.
Steven Rosenstone was installed as MnSCU’s fourth chancellor Wednesday in a ceremony at the state Capitol.
In his remarks, Rosenstone said he is “deeply worried” about what he calls “the darkest cloud in the educational sky — the shifting of costs from the state to students.”
He says keeping the doors open to an extraordinary education for all Minnesotans will remain MnSCU’s top priority.
The ceremony featured a new tradition, the presentation of a ceremonial medallion to the chancellor.
The medallion and chain were designed by Todd Hawkinson, a professional jeweler and instructor at Minnesota State College – Southeast Technical in Red Wing.
