Despite its vast higher education system, California stands out as one of only two states without comprehensive oversight or coordination of higher education. California Competes’ new report examines how states across the nation guide and coordinate their postsecondary systems, offering lessons for California. The report provides recommendations on strategies and guidelines that should be included in any uniquely Californian coordinating body to ensure near-term and long-term success, and includes a specific proposal for how that body could be designed to maximize its ability to articulate a public agenda for higher education.
