About Us
The Indiana Commission for Higher Education is a fourteen-member public body created in 1971 to:
- Define the educational missions of public colleges and universities
- Plan and coordinate Indiana’s state-supported system of postsecondary education
- Review budget requests from public institutions and the Division of Student Financial Aid
- Approve or disapprove for public institutions the establishment of new programs or expansion of campuses
The Governor appoints twelve members, nine representing a Congressional District and three at-large members, to serve terms of four years. In addition, the 1990 legislature added a student and a faculty representative who are appointed by the Governor for terms of two years. The Commission is not a governing board, but a coordinating agency that works closely with Indiana’s public and independent colleges.
