Mid-Term Review of The Illinois
Commitment: Environmental Analysis and Implications for the
Future (Information)
This initial report related to the mid-term review of The
Illinois Commitment provides an analysis of environmental
and other trends and challenges facing higher education for
2004 and beyond. A review of the literature suggests that
the six goals of The Illinois Commitment are still priority
issues for Illinois higher education. However, this analysis
also highlights several events and trends that have developed
during the last five years and that were not necessarily foreseen
in 1999. This may warrant some adjustment and refinement of
the specific priorities and emphases to be pursued by Illinois
higher education in the coming years within the context of
The Illinois Commitment.(Presentation by Daniel Layzell)
