An analysis and commentary on the 1971 enactment establishing the Commission for Higher Education of the State of Indiana with recommendations for the operation of the Commission

The purpose of this study was to analyze Public Law Number 326 which created the Commission for Higher Education in Indiana. The analysis of the law determined the powers delegated to the Commission, the restrictions imposed upon the Commission and the duties of the Commission as prescribed by the General Assembly. A second purpose of the study was to describe in detail four problem areas that cause trouble for statewide coordinating agencies of higher education. The four problem areas were membership on the governing board of the coordinating agency, political infringement of coordinating agency activities, reluctance of institutions of higher education to accept coordinating agencies and the failure to develop a professional staff for the coordinating agency. A third purpose of the study was to develop recommendations to help the Commission for Higher Education neutralize the effect of the potential problems.
