ARTICLE IV. ACTIVITIES OF THE
COMMISSION. (a) The Commission shall collect data on the
long-range effects of the Compact on higher education. By the end of
the fourth year from the effective date of the Compact and every two
(2) years thereafter, the Commission shall review its accomplishments
and make recommendations to the governors and legislatures of the
compacting states on the continuance of the Compact.
(b) The Commission shall study issues in higher education of
particular concern to the Midwestern region. The Commission shall
also study the needs for higher education programs and services in
compacting states and the resources for meeting such needs. The
Commission shall from time to time prepare reports on such research
for presentation to the governors and legislatures of the compacting
states and other interested parties. In conducting such studies, the
Commission may confer with any national or regional planning body.
The Commission may draft and recommend to the governors and
legislatures of the various compacting states suggested legislation
dealing with problems of higher education.
(c) The Commission shall study the need for provision of adequate
programs and services in higher education, such as undergraduate,
graduate, or professional student exchanges in the region. If a need for
exchange in a field is apparent, the Commission may enter into such
agreements with any higher education institution and with any of the
compacting states to provide programs and services in higher education
for the citizens of the respective compacting states. The Commission
shall, after negotiations with interested institutions and the compacting
states, determine the costs of providing the programs and services in
higher education for use in its agreements. The contracting states shall
contribute the funds not otherwise provided, as determined by the
Commission, for carrying out the agreements. The Commission may
also serve as the administrative and fiscal agent in carrying out
agreements for higher education programs and services.
(d) The Commission shall serve as a clearinghouse on information
regarding higher education activities among institutions and agencies.
(e) In addition to the activities of the Commission previously noted,
the Commission may provide services and research in other areas of
regional concern.
