and the Governor on postsecondary education issues (Chapter 1187, Statues of 1973). It replaced its predecessor as the State's
planning and coordinating body for higher education. Its predecessor, the Coordinating Council for Higher Education, was
established as part of the 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education (Chapter 49, Statutes of the 1st Extraordinary Session 1960).
