Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Council for Postsecondary Education was established by the Washington State Legislature in 1963. The Council’s charge was to oversee and coordinate higher education in the state, including degree program review and development, graduate studies, and enrollment policies. The Council was succeeded by the Washington State Higher Education Coordinating Board in 1986. CWU President James Brooks and Provost Edward Harrington attended Council meetings, which occurred roughly monthly in various sites around the state.
