Condition
of Higher Education: 2001-2010
Accountability
for higher education has been a central priority of
the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) from
its founding in the late 1960’s. This commitment
has been documented for more than a decade by the
Tennessee Challenge 2000 report. This report was established
in 1989 to demonstrate to the legislature and the
citizens of Tennessee the commitment that higher education
has to improved quality, its interest in fostering
diversity, and the desire to be accountable to the
various constituencies that surround and influence
higher education in Tennessee. The goals contained
in The Condition of Higher Education in
Tennessee evolved from the foundation
of the 1984 Bragg Marks for Higher Education, the
Tennessee Challenge 2000 report, and the Southern
Regional Education Board’s Educational Benchmarks
2000.
