We invite your input on opportunities and priorities in Oregon higher education!
Today, the Higher Education Coordinating Commission’s lead consultant for the House Bill 4124 higher education revitalization study, EY-Parthenon, has launched the House Bill 4124 Study Public Survey. We encourage you to participate and to help us to share this survey widely in Oregon!

EY-Parthenon is seeking input from students, faculty, staff, employers, legislators, community members, and other interested parties as part of the HB 4124 study of Oregon’s public postsecondary education system. This short survey asks you to respond to four questions related to the 4124 study as well as your connection/affiliation with the higher education system. Your feedback will help identify challenges, opportunities, and priorities for Oregon’s public postsecondary education system and will be considered alongside other research and engagement methods as recommendations are developed for the future of public higher education in Oregon.
As the lead consultant supporting HECC on the HB 4124 study, EY-Parthenon serves as an independent, evidence-based technical advisor. To learn more about the study’s background and process, visit the HECC HB 4124 implementation web page, where you can also find a link to the survey.

In addition to the survey, numerous additional processes of engagement, analysis, and collaboration are underway as HECC works toward the higher education revitalization study called for by HB 4124. The HECC has established a collaborative structure for the implementation of this legislatively-driven process, including an Advisory Group, regional meetings, consultant support, a student voices group, faculty and staff focus groups, a legislative roundtable, and an academic and fiscal leadership table.
Please help us share this survey opportunity with your communities. Anyone who is interested in public postsecondary education in Oregon is welcome to participate. The survey will be open through December 4, 2026. Thank you for sharing your perspective!
