The Commission supports and encourages efforts to ensure that campuses are free of illegal drugs and violence. Both human and fiscal resources dictate that the state cannot meet everyone's postsecondary needs. Nebraska's participation in consortia will allow Nebraskans to enroll in programs in other states at reasonable cost and, at the same time, bring other students into our state for programs in which we specialize. The Commission recommends that Nebraska institutions actively participate in educational consortia that provide a reasonable means to increase educational opportunities for the people of the state. Meeting Employers' Needs Central to the Commission's vision is the belief that postsecondary education should contribute to the prosperity of Nebraska's economy.
Citizens use postsecondary education to prepare for future jobs.
Professions and businesses look to the postsecondary institutions for responsible, skilled, and creative employees and colleagues. Cooperation and communication between educators and employers will help assure these two expectations are met. Postsecondary education plays a key role in Nebraska's economic development. Development of human resources is the framework that strengthens effective organizations. Postsecondary education provides the means toward career success and personal satisfaction.
