Winner CEO Named to Panel
"We need to open the discussion about how best to finance higher education in this state," Corbett said in a prepared statement.
One of the panel's main objectives is to develop a long-term strategy for higher education with regard to the changing and future demands of Pennsylvania's economy and jobs. The panel will be reviewing programs and policies in education to ensure educational options for students align with workforce needs, Corbett said.
The panel has been asked to identify key critical issues and to review current policies, procedures, regulations and legislation that impacts post-secondary education in Pennsylvania. In addition, the panel is to evaluate trends in education, including the role of technology, and how higher education can increase collaboration with the private sector and government.
Corbett asked the panel to submit its findings by Nov. 15.
