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.
