At the beginning of each fiscal year, the California Postsecondary Education Commission staff develops its plans for major research studies and other projects over the year, and brings the resulting workplan to the Commission for discussion. This report is the plan for these activities for the balance of this decade and it identifies priorities based on the time frame within which each project is expected to be undertaken and completed. Specific projected activities include sale and distribution of products from the Commission's database including Student Profiles, Fiscal Profiles, and the College Guide. Other annual reports of the Commission include "Performance of California's Public Colleges and Universities,""Faculty Salaries in California Colleges and Universities" along with published reviews of new campuses, and a factsheet on executive compensation. The Commission also has responsibility for program administration and monitoring federal activities, public communication, and governmental and external relations. The staff will undertake studies of financing of postsecondary education operations and financing capital costs of postsecondary education. It will also examine productivity and efficiency, fees and student aid, and ways to improve equality of access to educational opportunities. The final areas of planned activities are regional and statewide cooperation and collaboration. (JLS)
