The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education (CHE) serves as the coordinating board for South Carolina's 33 public institutions of higher learning and is responsible for serving a dual role within state government, acting both as an advocate for higher education as well as an oversight entity on behalf of the General Assembly. The agency's primary value to the state lies in the benefit of having an entity responsible for bringing to light and working through a myriad of issues to assure a balance between student and taxpayer rights and institutional policies, aspirations, and needs. CHE carries out its mission through statewide planning and working with institutions to promote quality, access, and efficiency in the state's higher education system while balancing advocacy, stewardship, and accountability. This annual accountability report for Fiscal Year 2006-07 includes an executive summary, an organizational overview, and information pertaining to the elements of the Malcolm Baldrige Award Criteria per the Budget & Control Board's 2006-07 Accountability Report guidelines. Included in this report are CHE's major goals and annual objectives for 2006-07 and upcoming years and major achievements from the past year. (Contains 11 tables and 10 graphs.)
