- Summary:
-
In 1994-95, the Education Commission of the States plans to focus on quality in higher education--quality that reflects the changing needs of society; quality that shows in the performance of all colleges, universities, and community colleges; and quality that counts for parents and students. The Commission will examine what Americans need and should expect from higher education, and how state policies can shape and support a comprehensive postsecondary system that best meets these needs and expectations. Achieving a quality higher education system calls for a broad constituent-based concept of quality, high expectations, new ways to measure and monitor results, and a supportive policy environment. The Commission's agenda includes: (1) generating widespread public discussion and understanding of what quality means to various constituents and why it matters; (2) helping develop the political leadership necessary to create and support diverse, high-quality institutions of higher education; (3) exploring and helping develop ways to enhance the options available to students and to increase their ability to progress through the higher education system and into the workplace at a faster rate; and (4) helping college and university leaders engage students, faculty, and campus officials in using their resources to meet the needs of communities, states, and the nation.
