PA State Board of Higher Ed Strategic Plan Public Comment Period – Jan 20

Posted by PA State Board of Higher Education on December 23, 2025

Pennsylvania’s State Board of Higher Education (SBHE) is charged with adopting a strategic plan that will provide direction and coordination to support our remarkable colleges and universities to fully meet the needs of the Commonwealth. Throughout the spring of 2025, SBHE gathered input from over 1200 individuals via regional hearings, small group meetings and an on-line survey to inform the development of a draft strategic plan. A summary of public comments from this initial phase can be found on the SBHE website.

SBHE has now released the draft strategic plan, entitled Driving a Prosperous Pennsylvania: A Statewide Agenda for Higher Education. We seek additional public input to further strengthen the plan before it is finalized and adopted by the Board.

The State Board of Higher Education has created several options for members of the public to provide constructive, practical suggestions on how the plan can be improved.  Wherever possible, we seek input on strengthening specific elements of the plan.

Both organizations and individuals are invited to weigh in during the public comment period, which closes on January 20, 2026.
