Phoenix# Tucson# iv# The 102nd Arizona Town Hall, which convened in April 2013, developed consensus on the topic of Higher Education in Arizona. The full text of these recommendations is contained in this final report. An essential element to the success of these consensus-driven discussions is the background report that is provided to all participants before the Town Hall convenes. The University of Arizona prepared a detailed and informative background report that provided a unique resource for a full understanding of the topic. Special thanks go to the following individuals from the University of Arizona for spearheading this effort and marshaling many talented professionals to write individual chapters: Ron Marx, Dean of the College of Education; Gary Rhoades, Head of the Department of Educational Policy Studies & Practice, and Professor and Director of the Center for the Study of Higher Education; and Jenny J. Lee, Associate Professor in the Center for the Study of Higher Education. The 103rd Town Hall could not have occurred without the financial assistance of our generous Professional Partners, which include Premier Partner APS, and Civic Leaders Cox Communications and Snell & Wilmer. The consensus recommendations that were developed during the course of the 102nd Town Hall have been combined with the background information prepared by the University of Arizona into this single final report that will be shared with public officials, community and business leaders, Town Hall members and many others. This report, containing the thoughtful recommendations of the 102nd Town Hall participants, is already being used as a resource, a discussion guide and an action plan for higher education in Arizona.
