In May, your institution was invited to customize these groups via a form on the Institution Interface. This report summarizes how your comparison groups were constructed and lists the institutions within them. NSSE comparison groups may be customized by (a) identifying specific institutions from the list of all 2018 and 2019 NSSE participants, (b) composing the group by selecting institutional characteristics, or (c) a combination of these. Institutions that chose not to customize received default groupsa that provide relevant comparisons for most institutions. Institutions that appended additional question sets in the form of Topical Modules or through consortium participation were also invited to customize comparison groups for those reports. The default for those groups was all other 2018 and 2019 institutions where the questions were administered. Please note: Comparison group details for Topical Module and consortium reports are documented separately in those reports.

  • Albertus Magnus College
    Testimony for the Finance Revenue and Bonding Committee Jennifer Widness, President Connecticut Conference of Independent Colleges April 29, 2019 On behalf of the Connecticut Conference of Independent Colleges (CCIC) I am submitting testimony on SB 1137: An Act Concerning Deposits in-Lieu-of-Taxes and SB 1138: An Act Concerning Community Restoration Funds, both of which seek to require non-profit organizations to pay significant fees to the state Treasurer to be utilized by local credit unions to implement certain community restoration and revitalization efforts. CCIC strongly opposes these bills. Our 15 member institutions all contribute immensely to their local communities in a wide variety of forms, as outlined in the attached and in the individual pieces of testimony submitted by the schools themselves. These schools open their athletic fields, museums, performances, meeting rooms, auditoriums and lecture halls to town residents. Their students and faculty volunteer in local organizations by the thousands, have developed partnerships with K-12 schools and provide a multitude of social resources that add to the vibrancy and vitality of the communities that surround them. Requiring nonprofit colleges and universities to pay fees to the state Treasurer that then would be sent to local credit unions would divert scarce resources from education, financial aid, and research and result in tuition increases and a decrease in community programs our member institutions provide, many of which local citizens rely on regularly. Non-profit colleges and universities are and will continue to be strong community partners. The millions of institutional dollars that these bills mandate be diverted elsewhere, to be spent in ways that do not capitalize on the assets and resources the campus community brings to the table, will only diminish our capacity to be strong partners in the future; not enhance it.
