WASHINGTON, April 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, a coalition of national leaders hailing from higher education, government, business, the nonprofit sector, and the military announced the formation of the Council on Higher Education as a Strategic Asset (HESA). Over the next year, HESA will develop and propose recommendations for ensuring that higher education institutions can deliver the workforce and educated citizenry necessary to address the United States' most critical national priorities.

Key Points: 
  • "The United States is falling behind in its vision for higher education, which is already endangering our security and competitiveness.
  • Historically, higher education has been central to national prosperity and security, especially during periods of intense industrial and technological progress.
  • As other nations readily embrace higher education as a strategic asset, the United States must develop new approaches at speed and scale to ensure it remains competitive.
  • HESA's goal is to maximize the impact of higher education on global competitiveness, national security, democratic strength, and economic prosperity.
