Abstract | This final Kellogg Commission report urges a renewal of the covenant between state universities and colleges and the public they serve. The report calls for a new kind of public institution, one that is both a first-rate student university and a first-rate research university, that provides access to a diverse student population, reaches out to engage the larger community, and provides opportunities for lifelong learning. The Commission sees a national commitment to public education as: equal educational opportunity; excellence in undergraduate, graduate, and professional curricula; learning environments that meet civic needs; graduate education informed by scholarship and responsive to public needs; institutional resources brought to bear on community problems; data systems that allow periodic assessment of progress toward goals; and on-going monitoring of the report recommendations. The report also sets out the public's responsibilities, urging enactment of new legislation that would help public universities create partnerships with public schools and revitalize K-12 education, as well as harness new telecommunications technologies to create a national learning society. It urges federal tax policy that encourages more private-sector partnerships with universities for joint research and educational activities and reminds states of their historic role of providing the major share of funding for public education.
