History
System State Formation
The State College of Higher Education of Oklahoma was established on March 11, 1941, when people from the state adopted amendments to the constitution, Article XIII-A, created the State System. The amendment provides, "All institutional higher education that is wholly or partially supported by a direct legislative appropriation will be an integral part of an integrated system known as the Oklahoma State High State System."
Establishment of the Oklahoma State Bureau for Higher Education
"There is hereby set up by Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, consisting of nine (9) members appointed by the Governor, confirmed by the Senate, and to be released only for reasons, as prescribed by law for the removal of non-compliance officers for impeachment. Upon taking effect of this Article, the Governor shall appoint the Regent for the following terms of office: one for a period of one year, one for a period of two years, one for a period of three years, one for a period of four years, one for term time of five years, one for a period of six years, one for a period of seven years, one for a period of eight years, and one for a period of nine years to fill in the blanks for the term balance only, except as mentioned above, of the Bupatis are nine years or until their replacement is appointed and qualified.
"The Bupatis shall be the coordinating body of control for all State agencies described in Section 1 of this treaty, with the following special powers: (1) it shall set the standard of higher education applicable to each institution, (2) it shall determine the functions and (3) it will provide other degrees and other forms of academic recognition for the completion of courses specified in all such institutions, (4) it will recommend to the State Legislative budget allocations for each of these institutions and (5) shall have the authority to recommend to the proposed legislative body of costs for such institutions, and such fees shall only apply within the limits prescribed by the Legislature. "(Oklahoma Constitution, Article XIII A, Part 2)
The Beginnings - 1890
Oklahoma's first territorial legislation passed a law that created three higher education institutions in 1890 to comply with the requirements of the Organic Congress Act establishing the territory. Congress obliges the region to establish three types of public higher education: liberal arts and professional education, agriculture and mechanical art education to meet the provisions of the college grants of the Morrill Act of 1862, and teacher training.
Territorial Governor George Washington Steele signed the bill creating the University of Oklahoma, the institution appointed to provide liberal arts and professional education, on December 19, 1890.
Six days later, on Christmas Day, in 1890, Governor Steele signed a bill that created Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanics College in Stillwater, a land grant institution, and Oklahoma Normal School for Teachers in Edmond to provide training for public school teachers in the region. Both institutions are now known as Oklahoma State University and the University of Central Oklahoma.
The first of these three institutions to open for the classroom is the Normal School for Teachers, which held its first class on November 1, 1891. Later in the same year, on December 14th, the first class was held at A & amp; M College in Stillwater, with 45 students in attendance.
The University of Oklahoma opened in a rented building on Main Street in Norman in 1892 with 119 students and four faculty members, including the university's first president, Dr. David Ross Boyd.
More Territorial Institutions
Later the territorial government established four other institutions: Colored Agriculture and the Normal University at Langston (now Langston University) and the Normal School for Teachers at Alva (now Northwestern Oklahoma State University) in 1897; Normal School for Teachers at Weatherford (now Southwestern Oklahoma State University) and the Oklahoma University Preparatory School in Tonkawa (now Northern Oklahoma College), both in 1901.
Move Overseas
When it became clear that the US government would not allow the Oklahoma Territories and Territories of India to enter the union as a separate state, the negotiations began among the political leaders of the two regions for the unification of the two into a single entity.
One of the main problems in this negotiation is the provision of public higher education. The leaders of the Indian Territory mentioned the fact that the Oklahoma Territory already has seven higher education institutions established, while no college or university in the Indian Territory.
Leaders agree that immediately after granting state status to a unified region, higher education institutions in the Oklahoma Region will be duplicated in the Indian Territory, thus spreading geographic access to public higher education throughout the new country.
The first Oklahoma legislature, meeting soon after the state, created two college-level schools: the Industrial and College Institute for Girls in Chickasha (now Oklahoma University of Science and Art) and the School of Mining and Metallurgy at Wilburton (now Oklahoma State College of State). The school at Wilburton is meant to be an eastern duplicate of the university in Norman.
The same legislature also created six secondary agricultural schools, in each of the five highest court districts and sixth in Panhandle. This is the Connors State Farm School at Warner (now Connors State College), Murray State Agricultural School at Tishomingo (now Murray State College), Cameron State Farm School in Lawton (now Cameron University), Haskell State School of Agriculture at Broken Arrow, Connell State School of Agriculture at Helena and Panhandle State School of Agriculture at Goodwell (now Oklahoma Panhandle State University).
1909 The legislature created three normal schools in eastern Oklahoma, to balance those operating in the west, and preparatory schools in the east, to offset one in Tonkawa. This new institution is Northeastern Normal School in Tahlequah (now Northeastern State University), East Central Normal School in Ada (now East Central University), Southeastern Normal School in Durant (now Southeastern Oklahoma State University) and Eastern Oklahoma University Preparatory School in Claremore ( now Rogers State University).
Institutions Closed in 1917
In 1917, several institutions were closed, two of them permanently. The legislature, with a separate action, closes agricultural schools in Broken Arrow and Helena. Governor Robert L. Williams, with a veto over the biennial allocations of these institutions, closed schools in Claremore, Wilburton, and Tonkawa.
When the Legislature reconvened in 1919 with the new governor at the office, the vetoed institution was granted an allocation and reopened. The legislature then created another institution, the Miami School of Mines (now Northeastern Oklahoma A & M College).
Although no state agency has been established for nearly 50 years, almost no two years have passed without a name change, function or governmental structure of public universities and universities.
College Junior Public District
The 1920s and 1930s saw the development of a new type of public higher education institution in Oklahoma, the junior college public district. In 1921 there was only one such institution, Muskogee Junior College, operated by the local school board, with the enrollment of 10 students.
In 1939 there were 20 institutions with a total registration of less than 1,600. These are located in Altus, Bartlesville, Bristow, Capitol Hill (Oklahoma City), Duncan, El Reno, Kiowa County (Hobart), Muskogee, Okmulgee, Poteau, Sapulpa, Seminole, Sayre, Tillman County (Frederick), Wetumka and Woodward - all two years college - and Carnegie, Holdenville, Okemah and Shidler - all one year colleges.
Initial Effort in Coordinate
The development of appropriate institutions and competitions every two years for legislative appropriations, coupled with a large amount of political activity on institutional operations, led to calls for a coordinated state system of public higher education.
As early as 1913, Governor Lee Cruce appealed to the Legislature for the consolidation of institutional functions and the elimination of some smaller schools. Governor Williams's one-hand approach to the latter problem and the end result has been recorded.
The first published study on the issue of coordination of higher education in Oklahoma was a doctoral dissertation from Henry G. Bennett in 1926. He recommended that the central coordinating agency be established and the state system established under the auspices of the State Education Council.
In 1929, Governor William J. Holloway recommended to the Legislative Council the reduction of the number of boards and the establishment of a central coordinating body. The legislature endorsed a bill that provides a council composed of the State Inspector of Public Instruction, two members appointed by the governor, and the president of five state institutions. Two people appointed as governor were never named and ex-officio members never met.
In early 1933, Governor William H. Murray, by executive order, formed a committee of nine to coordinate public higher education. In reaction, in the legislative session that year, a bill was introduced to create a mandatory co-ordination council. The bill was passed, and a coordinating council was formed, with 15 members appointed by the governor.
Although laws are passed and board members are appointed, legislative appropriations for the operation of the council are killed on the last day of the session. Nevertheless, the board meets and adopts a set of guiding principles for the co-ordination work of the council and its internal operations.
When the Governor leaves office, the terms of all members of the council, as provided for in the law that creates the council, shall not apply. Governor Marland, his successor, failed to make any new promises during his tenure.
System State Formed in 1941, Article XIII-A
In 1939, Governor Leon C. Phillips named the new members and the coordinating council began operating again. The rejuvenated board is recommended that a constitutional council be formed, and the Oklahoma Legislature of 1941 proposes Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma Constitution.
Following the legislative approval of the proposed amendment, the Legislature was adjourned and special elections were held on 11 March 1941, in which amendments were adopted, creating the Oklahoma State and State System for Higher Education. The legislature then reassembles and passes the necessary vitalization laws, thus creating the current higher education structure in the state.
With the establishment of the State System, the 1942 Report of the State Coordinating Agency noted, "Oklahoma now has the greatest chance in its history to map intelligent courses for higher education based across the state, and to assume greater leadership across the nation than ever before. Newer Developments No new state colleges were created from 1919 to 1968, when Tulsa Junior College (now Tulsa Community College) was founded. In the years from 1939 to 1967 most state universities did not exist anymore due to lack of students and financial support. One of these institutions, Altus Junior College, was converted into a state college by the Legislature in 1969 and became Western Oklahoma State College.
Subsequently, two new community junior colleges were formed - first, Oscar Rose Junior College in Midwest City (now Rose State College) and later, the South Oklahoma City Junior College (now Oklahoma City Community College). The two new colleges, together with three of the four surviving junior district academies, became full members of the State System with Legislative acts in 1973. 1987 Oklahoma Legislature combines the remaining community junior college, Sayre Junior College, with Oklahoma State University of Southwestern.
Another state institution, Oklahoma College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery (now Oklahoma State University for Health Sciences), was adopted in 1972 by the Oklahoma Legislature and started its first class in the fall of 1974. In 1988, the institution was incorporated as a constituent body under operation Oklahoma State University. In 2000 Rogers State College became a four-year university, Rogers State University.
In the academic year 1939-1940, just before the establishment of the State System, Oklahoma had a total of 38 public higher education institutions, including 18 state-backed institutions and 20 junior state universities, with a total enrollment of less than 27,000 students. In 2010 the number of public institutions was 25, with the registration of more than 247,000.
