Taking Charge of Change is the first document produced by the Kellogg Commission on the Future of Higher Education. "Dear Colleagues: The nation’s state and land-grant colleges and universities have promised many things to many people and delivered on most of them—world-class research, first-rate service, and access to affordable education for all. They have been a unique source of practical education and lifelong learning, first for farmers and then for just about everyone else. The value of these institutions is beyond calculation. They have kept the promise. All of that is now at risk. We cannot sugar-coat the truth. Unprecedented problems confront our campuses."
