Policy Analysis logoWICHE provides a wide range of initiatives and information to support Western states' concerns about higher education public policy issues and better informed decision-making. Recognizing that the policy environment varies from state to state, we work closely with policymakers and education leaders in each WICHE state. We foster opportunities for discussion of issues and policy options; provide members with quantitative and qualitative information and analyses to support decision-making; identify emerging issues; and track trends, particularly those of importance to the West.
