This document reports on the findings of the task force on coordination, governance, and structure of postsecondary education. Major conclusions are: (1) The states have the preeminent responsibility for postsecondary education. (2) Each state should insure and promote a variety of postsecondary educational opportunities. (3) Particular attention must be paid to the changing population characteristics and social expectations that face postsecondary education in the period ahead, including a leveling-off or decrease in the traditional college-age population. (4) An effective coordinating agency or governing agency should have broadened responsibility for the range of postsecondary education, concern for educational innovations and new forms of educational "delivery," and concern for articulation. (5) In states with multiple statewide postsecondary agencies dealing with state plans and/or dispersal of state and federal funds, these activities should be coordinated by one central coordinating agency. (6) Each state should determine levels of authority and responsibility of coordination and governance and should develop state plans suggesting levels of decisionmaking consistent with that authority. (7) Planning and its effective implementqtion are the key to effective coordination and governance. (8) The legislative and executive branches of government should support planning and coordination through an appropriate state educational agency. (Author/MJM)
