Many people believe that Minnesota's system of higher education is falling short of delivering the outcomes we need. This project will explore whether or not reform is needed, if so, what should be done, how and – more importantly – why?

Join the project to participate and receive progress updates.

"A(nother) look at higher education", Star Tribune, July 20, 2011

Note: Reporter Jenna Ross highlights the issue of "overlap and inefficiencies between the U and MnSCU systems" as one of the emerging themes. While questions around that issue have surfaced in this work, it is only one of perhaps a dozen issues.

We've put together a plan for anyone interested in getting involved with Phase II of the Higher Education project and kicking off volunteer involvement with an in-person meeting on Tuesday, April 3rd. We hope you'll consider participating!
