Report of the Senate Task Force
on Public Higher Education

March 2005

Massachusetts Senate

Preface

“As the business community and MassINC have recognized, public higher education is crucial to our economy. We need to make public higher education a top priority of the Commonwealth.”

—Senate President Robert E. Travaglini

“With the majority of our skilled Massachusetts workforce being educated in our public institutions of higher learning, our economic future depends on public higher education. … We cannot allow states that have made public higher education a real priority to supplant us as one of the central stations for the new economy train.”

—Sen. Steven C. Panagiotakos, Co-Chair, Senate Task Force on Public Higher Education

“We have to redouble our efforts to strengthen our public higher education system. If we don’t, we run the risk of becoming a second-class state with a second-class economy.”

—Sen. Stan Rosenberg, Co-Chair, Senate Task Force on Public Higher Education

The Senate Task Force on Public Higher Education, co-chaired by Senators Panagiotakos and Rosenberg, was established to examine the role of public higher education in developing the Commonwealth’s economy and workforce. The Task Force solicited input from leaders within the business and academic community who recognize the need to have a well thought out strategy for public higher education’s role in the future of the Massachusetts economy and workforce.
