establish, by rule, its goals in monitoring the provision
of services and in insuring ensuring that these services

the regional councils supervising technical colleges may

projects the regional councils supervising technical
colleges have proposed, and that the board has determined

funds; or act in other lawful ways as may best serve the
public good.
