Now that the Commission on Higher Education has released it report, what happens?

"Education Secretary Margaret Spellings plans a many faceted campaign to carry out the recommendations of her Commission on the Future of Higher Education." (4)

It is important to note that the Committee's recommendations have no power of law. "The commission has no direct power, and it would be up to Congress, state governments and individual colleges to implement its recommendations. But it is still attracting close attention from experts because its hearings over the last year have constituted the first national debate about higher education policies in recent memory." (5)
