- Summary:
-
This document, prepared by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, presents six policy recommendations and implementation strategies to state and higher education leaders. This agenda for the 21st century is suggested to help higher education serve the needs of a multicultural society in a global and technologically oriented economy. Recommended are: (1) statewide strategic agendas that identify campus responsibilities and are supported by financial policies and performance accountability standards; (2) higher education collaboration with the public sector, state government, and the private sector to agree on priority research needs; (3) a higher education commitment to undergraduate curriculum reform that will prepare graduates for the new century; (4) college and university responsibility for leadership roles that demonstrate that racial and ethnic diversity are institutional, social, and economic assets; (5) use of technology for instruction, delivering education, research, and campus management; and (6) a faculty commitment to address the goals of the new higher education agenda, and institutional policies and work environments that encourage this commitment. Appended are two rosters listing the individuals involved in this project. (Contains approximately 70 references.) (CH)
