Clear the Path

Whether it is the increased number of young people who leave high school ready to succeed in higher education or the tens of thousands of older workers who return to the college campus, the recommendations of the commission have implications for the capacity and organization of Michigan’s higher education system. While the commission believes Michigan’s existing higher education capacity can be used in new and more effective ways to begin achieving its ambitious goals, it also believes that the longer-term, capacity-related implications of these recommendations need to be well understood.

RECOMMENDATION

During the next legislative session, the higher education community must conduct an analysis of the emerging issues and special problems related to higher education human resource and physical infrastructure capacity.
