  • Prior Learning Assessment Handbook Northeast Resiliency Consortium
    PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT HANDBOOK NORTHEAST RESILIENCY CONSORTIUM Nan L. Travers, Ph.D. ABOUT US The Northeast Resiliency Consortium (NRC) is a group of seven community colleges—Passaic County (NJ), Kingsborough (NY), Housatonic (CT), Bunker Hill (MA), Capital (CT), LaGuardia (NY), and Atlantic Cape (NJ) community colleges, organized in partnership with Achieving the Dream and joined with other strategic partners including the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The consortium was created in the wake of recent natural and man-made disasters. These disasters serve as powerful reminders that catastrophes can come in all shapes and sizes, and when least expected, can disrupt a community’s infrastructure and civic life. The consortium was awarded $23.5 million from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College Career and Training (TAACCCT) program to develop education and training programs to support the development of a skilled and resilient workforce. Resiliency is defined as an individual’s persistent development and application of knowledge, skills, and resources that effectively help one adapt to change and overcome adversity. The goal of the NRC was to enhance the capacity of colleges to accelerate learning, ensure that students attain industry-recognized credentials, foster innovative employer partnerships, use new technologies, and deploy robust support services. The consortium and its partners are working to build regional capacity for helping trade-impacted, unemployed persons, veterans and other workers in obtaining the skills, competencies, and credentials needed to transition into in-demand occupations and to successfully advance along a career pathway in IT, healthcare, or energy/environment.

  • 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%

  • Analysis of the America Rescue Plan Federal Stimulus
    MEMO March 12, 2021 TO: Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley Chief Executive Officers Chief Business Officers Chief Student Services Officers Chief Instructional Officers FROM: Lizette Navarette, Vice Chancellor, College Finance and Facilities Planning David O’ Brien, Vice Chancellor, Government Relations RE: Analysis of the America Rescue Plan Federal Stimulus Summary On Thursday, March 11, 2021, President Joe Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan into law. The new federal stimulus includes a robust investment in higher education with resources available for a longer period of time. Half of the resources each colleges receives will go to support direct emergency grants to students. Bill Details The new federal Coronavirus stimulus bill earmarks nearly $170 billion for education, including $39.6 billion for a third round of funding into the Higher Education Emergency Relief (HEER) Fund. The HEER III dollars will be allocated using the same methodology as the previous two iterations (with some slight modifications) and requires institutions that receive this funding to allocate at least 50% of those dollars to students in the form of emergency grants. One welcome distinction over previous stimulus bills is that the American Rescue Plan specifies funds will be available for use by institutions through September 30, 2023. Specifically, the $39 billion investment in the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund will be distributed as follows: • 37.5 percent based on FTE Pell recipients, not exclusively enrolled in distance education courses prior to the emergency; • 37.5 percent based on headcount Pell recipients; • 11.5 percent based on overall FTE students; • 11.5 percent based on overall headcount of students; • 1 percent based on FTE Pell exclusively online recipients (may only be used for student grants); and • 1 percent based on headcount Pell exclusively online recipients (may only be used for student grants).
