The report, titled Transforming Higher Education: National Imperative—State Responsibility, said that state legislators must, “be at the center of a nationwide movement to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current system, determine a public agenda for higher education, set clear goals, and hold institutions accountable.” The commission found that, on a nationwide basis, for every 100 ninth graders who enter high school, only 18 finish college within six years.
The Blue Ribbon Commission on Higher Education is comprised of a bipartisan panel of six Democrats and six Republicans. The National Conference of State Legislatures assigned this group with the task of examining trends and issues in higher education over an 18-month period. They were to focus on the roles and responsibilities of state legislators.
