0011| REQUESTING THAT THE COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION UNDERTAKE A

|
0014|
|
0015| WHEREAS, during the past decade, an increasingly diverse
|
0016| population of students has sought post-secondary education,
|
0017| resulting in demand for more flexible access to instruction and
|
0018| a greater array of support services; and
|
0019| WHEREAS, during the past decade, demand for post-secondary
|
0020| education has expanded to encompass new fields of study, to
|
0021| accommodate new areas of employment and to provide advanced
|
0022| training and retraining for citizens already in the work force;
|
0023| and
|
0024| WHEREAS, rapidly changing technologies have expanded the
|
0025| options for delivery of instruction, achievement of learning
|
0001| and assessment of performance; and
|
0002| WHEREAS, during the past decade, costs of post-secondary
|
0003| education appear to have increased at rates higher than other
|
0004| services;
|
0005| NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
|
0006| STATE OF NEW MEXICO that the commission on higher education be
|
0007| asked to undertake a long-term program of evaluation and
|
0008| planning with the goal of assuring the availability of high-
|
0009| quality post-secondary education delivered efficiently
|
0010| throughout the state and responsive to the needs of New
|
0011| Mexico's citizenry and the demands of the twenty-first century;
|
0012| and
|
0013| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the commission be asked to
|
0014| consult with state post-secondary institutions and with
|
0015| representatives of private post-secondary education, public
|
0016| education, employers, Native American tribal leaders and other
|
0017| sectors of the citizenry, as appropriate, in the initiation and
|
0018| conduct of this program; and
|
0019| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in order to accomplish this
|
0020| evaluation and planning collaboratively and without expansion
|
0021| of the state government, state post-secondary institutions be
|
0022| asked to support the commission by providing technical
|
0023| assistance and contributing staff support to the commission, as
|
0024| requested by the commission; and
|
0025| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the commission be encouraged
|
0001| to include in this program of evaluation and planning analyses
|
0002| of quality and productivity of educational programs offered by
|
0003| state post-secondary institutions; operating costs and
|
0004| efficiencies of the institutions and their educational
|
0005| programs; congruity or discongruity between existing
|
0006| educational programs and current state needs; and methods for
|
0007| improving the delivery of state support, including performance-
|
0008| based funding; and
|
0009| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that as an outcome of this program
|
0010| of evaluation and planning the commission be encouraged to
|
0011| identify optimal levels and methods of funding for post-
|
0012| secondary education; appropriate shares of the cost of post-
|
0013| secondary education; and appropriate means for managing costs
|
0014| and improving efficiency without sacrificing quality of post-
|
0015| secondary education; and
|
0016| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the commission be asked to
|
0017| report annually to the legislature and the governor on the
|
0018| status and progress of this program, including any
|
0019| recommendations for legislation, beginning in January 1998; and
|
0020| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this memorial be
|
0021| transmitted to the executive director of the commission on
|
