AGENDA
PURPOSES: To review the conceptual framework and activities discussed in previous meetings; to review data analyses of Missouri and other states; to discuss strategies for meetings with various constituencies; and to develop a schedule for future activities of the Task Force.
- Discussion of Conceptual Framework and Activities (Attachment A)
The Task Force has discussed an overall conceptual framework/approach which is contained in Attachment A. What suggestions do Task Force members have for modifications, changes or additions to the framework?
- Conceptual Statement (Attachments B and C)
At the last meeting the Task Force developed a conceptual statement to support the overarching approach, which is contained in Attachment B. What suggestions do Task Force members have?
Attachment C contains data that could be used to support the conceptual statement. Are there other data that should be considered to support the statement? Which of these data make the most compelling statements about the importance of higher education?
- Data Comparing Missouri and Other States (Attachment D)
Attachment D compares Missouri with other states on a number of measures. Which comparisons would be most important to communicate to external stakeholders? What other analyses are suggested by the Task Force? Is the best comparison group contiguous states (Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma), or should other states be included?
