Department or Education, who indicated (1) that of the five applications
for regional colleges presently before the Academic Board for evaluation p
only that of the North Shore met all criteria; (2) that the Cabinet did not
feel that it was politioally expedient to move on so many applications at
this timeo By implication it was suggested that the cabinet might respond
in our case to some form of public pressureo
