  • Academic Affairs Annual Report 2020-2021
    2 Academic Affairs Annual Report 2020-2021 I. Strategic Enrollment Management Since 2018, Sonoma State has experienced a general downward trend in enrollment. Impacts on that trend include demographic changes, new patterns of college-going with students staying closer to home, and outmoded recruitment tools and strategies. In addition, Sonoma State’s enrollment has been affected to some degree by the fires that have occurred in Sonoma County and the surrounding regions for the last four years, reducing our out-of-region enrollment. In fall 2020, the pandemic had a significant negative impact on first-time, first-year (FTFY) enrollment, particularly for students who live out-of-region. In response to the threats posed by declining enrollment and COVID, Sonoma State finalized its first Strategic Enrollment Management Plan (SEM) during this past year, supported by consultation with the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admission Officers (AACRAO) and aligned with Sonoma State’s Strategic Plan 2025. As a federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institution, we are committed to increasing our service to Latinx, Black, Indigenous, and Asian and Pacific Islander communities, as well as low-income students, with the intentional goal of serving a majority of students from historically underrepresented and Pell-eligible populations. Our SEM plan originally had a 10-year time frame, but we narrowed the scope to the period from 2021 to 2024 in recognition of the likely volatility of enrollment for the next few years. We have chosen to aim for modest yield targets over a shorter period, while focusing on enrollment strategies that position us for long-term, future growth.

  • Hispanic-Serving Institutions (Hsis): 2019-20
    Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs): 2019-20 The mission of Excelencia in Education is to accelerate Latino student success in higher education. A critical group of institutions enrolling and graduating Latino students are Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). Summary of the 2019-20 HSI List In the 1980s, leaders recognized a small set of institutions enrolled a large percentage of Latino students but had low levels of resources to educate these students. The classification of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) formally recognized these institutions for capacity-building and other support. HSIs are defined as accredited, degree-granting public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education with 25% or more total undergraduate Hispanic full-time equivalent (FTE) student enrollment.1 In 2019-20, 569 institutions met the enrollment definition of HSIs. HSIs represent 18% of colleges/universities and enroll 67% of Latino undergraduates. The list of institutions identified as HSIs in this analysis is not intended to designate eligibility for any specific program; rather, the list is meant to assist in considering and analyzing the institutions that meet the basic legislative definition of a Hispanic-Serving Institution. The following list of HSIs was created using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).2 Location Sector State/Location # HSIs Sector # HSIs % HSIs California 175 Public, 2-year 235 41% Texas 100 Private not-for-profit, 4-year or above 169 30% Puerto Rico 64 Public, 4-year or above 150 26%

  • The Evolution of a Vision
    COPLAC – The Evolution of a Vision 1. Present at the Creation – 1986-1992 In the summer of 1986, David G. Brown, then Chancellor at The University of North Carolina Asheville, had an idea. Those who have worked with Dr. Brown know him to be something of a perpetual motion machine for generating good ideas, but this one was particularly fruitful. Dr. Brown recognized that the character and mission and selectivity in recruitment and admissions of UNC Asheville as a college small by choice, focusing upon undergraduate liberal learning, made it an outrider in the University of North Carolina system. Reflecting upon his familiarity with the American higher education landscape (he had recently served as Chair of the Board of the American Association for Higher Education), Brown noticed that there were other institutions of a similar nature scattered throughout the nation, and observed that it might be mutually beneficial to build links between them. This was the initial spark that grew into today’s Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC). Indeed, it can even be seen as the discovery of a previously unrecognized segment of the American collegiate scene, the public liberal arts college. Chancellor Brown had the institutional research office at UNC Asheville compile a list of comparable institutions, arranged phone conversations with well over a dozen of their chief executives, and personally visited St. Mary’s College of Maryland and Mary Washington College in Virginia. An initial list of 15 institutions was narrowed to 12, the Presidents/Chancellors (and in a few cases the chief academic officers) of which were invited to convene in Asheville in May of 1988.
