Campaign to create a separate U.S. Department of Education
West Virginia University president Paul A. Miller argued at the first national conference on adult education for moving the U S Commissioner of Education from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to form an independent Cabinet level department. He said a separate department would centralize policy, coordinate aid programs, and strengthen resource allocation and policy formation. He noted current aid is likely to expand across ages from preschool to university. Miller welcomed centralized federal involvement and suggested separate roles may eventually emerge for health and welfare.
