An outline is provided, for its staff, of the seven priorities of the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC), during the second half of the California State Legislature's 1987-88 session. The report states that the Commission's staff will: (1) work with legislators and the Governor's staff to develop and implement appropriate statutory revisions to resolve existing problems in community college governance and finance; (2) identify appropriate legislative proposals to simplify and expand student financial aid; (3) seek to develop a consensus recommendation to ensure equitable and predictable student fees in anticipation of the sunset of current law; (4) promote the establishment of a task force to reassess the purposes of evaluating health manpower and health sciences educational planning in California; (5) create a State Council for Research and Technological Development; (6) monitor the compliance of accredited independent and private institutions with the standards of the commission; and (7) continue the California Student Opportunity and Access Program. A selected list of 17 recent CPEC reports is appended. (UCM)
