Join the Campaign for the Future of Higher Education!
The Campaign for the Future of Higher Education - CFHE for short - is a new grassroots national campaign to support quality higher education. It was initiated in Los Angeles, California on January 21, 2011 by leaders of faculty organizations from 21 states.
The mission of this campaign is to ensure that affordable quality higher education is accessible to all sectors of our society in the coming decades. This is a time of great change in higher education.
To make sure that these changes are good for students and our country, we need to reframe the current debate to focus on quality higher education as an essential right for our democracy. Faculty, students and our communities, not just administrators, politicians, foundations and think tanks, need to have a voice to ensure that changes - in emphasis, curriculum, pricing, and structure - are good for our students and the quality of education they receive.
What is at stake is nothing less than our democracy and our economic standing in the global economy.
The Campaign for the Future of Higher Education is organized around seven core principles that must define quality higher education for the 21st century. We believe these principles provide a helpful framework for developing and assessing proposals for innovation or restructuring in the future.
