Abstract	This paper is the fifth in a series of yearly efforts to identify the top 10 public policy issues facing higher education. Each of the issues is presented, first as a brief summary and then discussed in some depth; each also includes a list of information sources. The issues identified are: (1) teacher preparation and the K-12 relationship (the increasing role of higher education in improving K-12 instruction); (2) affordability vs. access (the increasing problem of access for less affluent students); (3) cost and price of higher education (increasing public concern about college costs); (4) implementation of recent federal legislation (implementation concerns of major 1998 legislation); (5) federal support for university research (both the level of funding and governing policies); (6) diversity in admissions (problems concerning affirmative action in admissions); (7) information technology and new competition (technology and for-profit higher education providers); (8) economic and financial trends (the need to prepare for a possible recession); (9)creating a sustainable society and future (the role of higher education in sustaining the natural resource base and protecting the environment); and (10) rethinking public higher education systems (ways to encourage efficiency, productivity, and accountability while keeping costs reasonable).
