Who Will Represent Postsecondary Education In Discussions Of K12 Common Academic Standards?

There is much publicity about 46 states coming together to formulate common standards to overcome the hodge  podge of standards and tests that NCLB has spawned- see http://www.csso.org. But who will represent higher education? There are so many different institutions and systems that no obvious grouping  is appropriate. Even the testing companies like ETS and ACT may be at the table. If higher education has a weak voice then we will repeat the disastrous experience of 1995-2005 when k12 academic standards were formulated without alignment with postsecondary education.
