Washington State's Temporary Advisory Council on Public Higher Education was established in 1965 to advise the legislature and the governor on the need for additional institutions to meet higher education demand. In this report, the council's history and actions are outlined and its recommendations are summarized for eight areas: establishment of a permanent council on higher education, planning and articulation with private colleges, studies of policies and new institution concepts, community college policy and planning, student financial aid programs, student drug use policy and studies, personnel and land management procedures, and the establishment of a metropolitan tract. The state senate's concurrent resolution creating the council, other documents relating to the council's operation, and two house and two senate resolutions in four major areas of council study are appended.
