Business-Higher Education Forum
http://www.bhef.com/

The Business-Higher Education Forum (BHEF) is a non-profit membership organization of leaders from American businesses, colleges and universities, museums, and foundations. The purpose of the group is to join together to examine issues of national importance and, when appropriate, to speak with one voice by issuing reports, white papers, and policy positions, and by sponsoring roundtable discussions with elected public officials, representatives from both the corporate and the academic communities, and with the general public. Founded in 1978, the Forum was hosted by the American Council on Education until it became an independent organization in September 2004.

A Commitment to America’s Future; Responding to the Crisis in Mathematics & Science Education

How can business, higher education, and policy leaders contribute to the improvement of the mathematics and science competency of all of America’s students? In A Commitment to America’s Future; Responding to the Crisis in Mathematics & Science Education, the BHEF Mathematics and Science Initiative outlines a plan-of-action, to be undertaken in each state by a coalition of education, business, and policy leaders, which focuses on system-wide improvement of the teaching and learning of mathematics and science. It also calls for national and state-specific public information programs that make mathematics and science education a public priority. This will be added to Education and Distance Learning Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.
