The
Commission is established by the
Secretary of Education to begin a
national dialogue about the future of
higher education in this country. The
purpose of the Commission is to
consider how best to improve our
system of higher education to ensure
that our graduates are well prepared to
meet our future workforce needs and are
able to participate fully in the changing
economy. The Commission shall
consider Federal, State, local and
institutional roles in higher education
and analyze whether the current goals of
higher education are appropriate and
achievable. The Commission will also
focus on the increasing tuition costs and
the perception of many families,
particularly low-income families, that
higher education is inaccessible.
The agenda for this first meeting will
include a welcome by Department
officials followed by a roundtable
discussion focusing on the strategies for
accomplishing their mission as stated in
their charter. A written report to the
Secretary is due by August 1, 2006. The
commissioners will also participate in
an orientation and administrative
briefings on FACA, Ethics issues, and
Federal travel regulations.
Individuals who will need
accommodations for a disability in order
to attend the meeting (e.g., interpreting
services, assistive listening devices, or

later than October 7, 2005. We will
attempt to meet requests for
accommodations after this date but
