At that time, the Commission s responsibilities were relatively limited. The structure of the Commission underwent major change in 1990 when the people of Nebraska voted to amend the State Constitution to establish a new Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education with responsibility for comprehensive statewide planning for postsecondary education in the state. With the creation of the new Commission came increased duties and responsibilities. The newly organized Coordinating Commission became effective January 1, 1992. It is comprised of eleven Commissioners appointed by the Governor with approval by the Legislature.
Commissioners serve six-year terms.
The Commission holds scheduled meetings, which are open to the public, at least eight times a year. Anyone wishing to be placed on the Commission s mailing list to receive meeting agendas, meeting summaries and other publications of the Commission should contact the Commission through e-mail.
