The price for this has been the slow decline of its international leadership in supporting the emerging skills training and adult learning institutions in the developing world. A second major cost of the more targeted focus has been the restructuring of its Board from that of constituency representation (students, faculty, administrators, College Board members and College Presidents from each region of the Country) to a Board of  Presidents only. The loss of this national forum for discussion of learning and the principles of inclusiveness  by the full range of partners in the institution was seen to be offset by the benefits of a clearer focus on financial and management issues.
The price paid for this has been the gradual erosion of its global leadership in supporting emerging skills training and adult learning institutions in developing countries. A second major consequence has been the reorganization of its Board from a constituency-based structure to one consisting only of Presidents, resulting in the loss of a national forum for discussion on inclusiveness and learning principles.
