The Institute for Higher Education promotes and supports scholarly activity on the range of purposes, practices, policies, problems, and perspectives framing the higher education enterprise now, in the past, and potentially in the future. The institute views postsecondary teaching, learning, and scholarly and creative endeavor in social, political, economic, and historic perspective, and promotes efforts to strengthen and enrich these ?core? activities for all participants in the higher education enterprise. As such, it supports explorations of the organization and functions of the higher education enterprise, the larger social, political, and economic environments in which the enterprise evolves and to which it provides returns, and its internal educational and knowledge-based activity, as well as relationships among these.
