The Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) was established in 1965 by the Colorado General Assembly. The Commission replaced an association which met informally to consider matters related to higher education. The Colorado Department of Higher Education (DHE) is the principal department of the Colorado state government responsible for implementing the policies of the CCHE.
In 1985 the Assembly gave the Commission increased authority and specific directives through the passage of House Bill 1187. Specific responsibilities include developing long-range plans for an evolving state system of higher education:
Four-Year Schools that are managed/supervised by the Commission through their Trustees/Board of Governors/Board of Regents
The eleven-member board appointed by the governor of Colorado to create and enforce policy for Colorado public higher education.
