Commission for Postsecondary Education

Report

The report focuses on the need for the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education. The Commission is currently at a turning point. The Commission was created to meet a federal requirement that no longer exists. As a result, the Commission is planning to expand its policy analysis and early awareness activities, which have been limited in the past. The report recommends that the Legislature consider whether it wants the Commission to play an expanded role in these areas. If so, the Commission’s statutory and budgetary authority should be changed to clearly specify these roles. If the Legislature does not wish the Commission to perform policy analysis or early awareness activities, it should consider sunsetting the Commission, since other entities could or do perform its other activities.
