Abstract | The multiplicity and variety of organizations representing the national scope of higher education prompted the American Association of Colleges (AAC) and the National Council of Independent Colleges and Universities (NCICU) to study the Washington-based associations toward the end of reducing duplication and competition and achieving greater clarity of mission, particularly among those organizations supported by institutional dues. This study limits itself to attempting to answer two fundamental questions: What is the best way to represent nationally the interests of liberal education? and What is the best way to represent nationally the concerns of the independent sector of higher education? A survey was conducted among college presidents, other college officials, and state association directors. This data combined with information from conferences, interviews, and regional conferences led to a number of recommendations relating to the establishment of a separate organization to represent the special interests of the independent institutions; revisions in emphasis and structure of the AAC; and procedures for implementation.
