Establishment of the NSEC:
The ESC will work with academe in the establishment of a National Security Education Consortium (NSEC).
The NSEC is a voluntarily constituted consortium of institutions amenable to the goals of the National Strategy for the Development of Security Professionals.
Charter members of the NSEC will draft a charter that establishes a Board of Directors (BoD), and criteria and procedures for admitting and integrating new and existing institutions.
The BoD will be comprised primarily of representatives of federal learning centers. It will also include other representatives from interested public and private institutions.
The NSEC will enable partnerships that are desirable in order to establish and maintain high academic standards, recruit talented individuals, and ensure NSPE reaches broad audiences.
