The higher education panel of the Commission on the Future of Education in Delaware was charged by the governor with three major reviewing tasks: (1) the status of state-level educational administration to determine how well it can meet needs at that time and in the future; (2) the method used to determine postsecondary funding levels and introduction of new and continuing degree programs; and (3) the way in which Delaware meets its citizens' education needs and how to expand that outreach. The commission recommended that: functions concerning postsecondary education be consolidated under a proposed coordinating board rather than remain segmented; the Technical and Community College be allowed to retain tuition receipts as the other two institutions do; all institutions use the same budget format; no additional cabinet-form administration for postsecondary education be created; adult basic education be a responsibility of the coordinating board; and state and institutional data collection be standardized and done regularly.
