Leading education policy experts called for major reforms in higher education Wednesday in response to a report by an independent research group showing that the nation has made little progress over the past decade in getting more of its citizens through college. The findings were released by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education. Separate reports were issued for each state. Two dozen of the nation's most prominent higher education leaders and experts gathered for a symposium Wednesday to discuss the findings. They expressed dismay at the findings of the 10-year analysis. Michigan was not mentioned specifically in the article.
