<p>Have you seen the draft (8/9/06) of the Sec. of Education's Commission on the Future of Higher Education:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/hiedfuture/reports/0809-draft.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/hiedfuture/reports/0809-draft.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>A recent NY Times article (about college rankings) made mention of it:
<a href="http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=1095323461&sid=1&Fmt=3&clientId=19620&RQT=309&VName=PQD%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=1095323461&sid=1&Fmt=3&clientId=19620&RQT=309&VName=PQD&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The commissions's report spans many topics - just wanted to get people's opinion of it.</p>
