  8. The 90-Day Agenda: Vision Statement The Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE), the state’s coordinating agency for two and four-year, public and independent colleges and universities, is required to succeed at achieving several competing activities, including statutory obligations, statewide mandates, as well as the responsibility to make steady progress in the implementation of the Illinois Public Agenda for College and Career Success. In response to Illinois’ recessive economic condition and pursuant to President Barack Obama’s call during his State of the Union Address in 2009, the implementation of the Public Agenda will be accelerated in order to insure that more of the State’s citizens are successful in achieving some form of a higher education that they can afford, and, therefore, improve their civic and economic standing, especially those on the underside of the achievement gap. Therefore in these first ninety days, the staff of IBHE will increase the citizen’s awareness and implementation of the Public Agenda, as the senior staff of IBHE will lead in increasing college and career readiness, creating opportunities for the re-enrollment of minority and underserved students who have left college before they graduated, and in creating support and legislation for the establishment of performance funding by the State of Illinois for college and universities.

  9. The 90-Day Agenda: Summary • Increased public awareness • Improved college readiness through better curriculum alignment • Renewed interest in college to close the achievement gap • Focused on college completions through performance funding

The blueprint for higher education, the Public Agenda, must be further implemented over the next twelve months. By June 30, 2012, the IBHE will implement the Public Agenda in the following ways [to be determined].
