State Higher Education Councils

State Higher Education Councils are organizations established by state governments to oversee and coordinate public higher education institutions within the state. They set policies, allocate funding, and ensure that colleges and universities meet state goals for access, quality, and efficiency. These councils often advise policymakers, assess institutional performance, and foster collaboration among schools to improve higher education outcomes. Essentially, they serve as a bridge between the state government and higher education institutions, helping to align education efforts with statewide economic and social priorities.
