SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
