  • K–18 Reform the MISSING LINK
    M ARCH 2004 School & College K–18 Reform THE MISSING LINK K–12 and higher education have long stood as silos. The separation has become increasingly untenable, with more-stringent state and federal accountability requirements for K–12 systems underscoring longstanding complaints from both sides: “You’re sending us teachers not prepared for real classrooms” and “You’re sending us students not ready for college.” Now a decade-long trend toward bridging the chasm is A key issue is that high schools and colleges have gaining traction.

  • America's Public Hbcus: a Four State Comparison of Institutional Capacity and State Funding Priorities
    America’s Public HBCUs: A Four State Comparison of Institutional Capacity and State Funding Priorities In his 2008 report entitled, Contemporary HBCUs: Considering Institutional Capacity and State Priorities, James T. Minor analyzed enrollment, funding, and advanced degree pat- terns at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in Alabama, Louisiana, Mis- sissippi, and North Carolina. His findings exposed the underlying racial disparities in state and federal allocations to HBCUs. He also drew on enrollment and graduate program data to illuminate the vital function of HBCUs. In this report, we evaluate how enroll- ment, funding, and advanced program distribution have changed since Minor published his original findings. William Casey Boland & We used the most recent data available from the National Center for Education Statistics’ (NCES) Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) to shed light on enrollment, state ap- Marybeth Gasman propriations, and completion data for HBCUs. We also drew upon current state appropriations data from state government websites, institutional websites and state education websites to procure advanced degree program information, including specialist and post-master’s programs.

  • Improving Access to Bachelor's Degrees in Macomb County
    Improving Access to Bachelor’s Degrees in Macomb County A Report from Institute for Higher Education Policy April, 2007 Institute for Higher Education Policy 1320 19th Street, NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20036 www.ihep.org This report is made possible through the support of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The opinions and conclusions expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not reflect the views of its sponsor or any other entity. Background Access to higher education has been an important element of the policy discussion in Michigan in recent years, and was highlighted as a key priority in the final report of the Lieutenant Governor’s Commission on Higher Education and Economic Growth (also known as the Cherry Commission report). Since the report’s release in late 2004, significant progress has been made on many of the report’s 19 major recommendations. However, an important aspect of the report’s unfinished agenda concerns access to baccalaureate institutions and degrees, particularly in specific counties and communities. Access to the bachelor’s degree is a significant issue for the state and its communities. At the statewide level, the benefits of investing in higher education are enormous, and the payoff of a baccalaureate degree is substantial. Michigan residents with a bachelor’s degree earn nearly twice as much per year compared to high school graduates ($45,928 vs. $26,095), have much lower rates of unemployment (less than one-third the level of their high school peers), and volunteer and vote at much higher rates (IHEP 2005). These are all indicators of the enormous individual and societal benefits that result from the investment in higher education.

Description Introduction and Executive Summary. New College of Florida prepares intellectually curious students for lives of great achievement. We propose a program entitled New College Tomorrow: Arts and Sciences for Florida’s Future that will not only further that mission, but make New College a model for educational excellence at the national and international level, as measured by producing graduates who will fill some of the most challenging regional, state and national workforce needs now and into the future, and who will drive innovation locally and globally. New College Tomorrow involves advancing along three parallel directions, each emerging from a distinctive strength of the college. The first strand executes our strategic plan, strengthening the residential, liberal arts and sciences core of our program through growth. We have the recurring funding needed for this. The second inflects student experience toward the world of work at all levels of the institution, for which we request recurring funding of $760,000. The third strengthens our role in our community and region; our links to employers and enterprises; and our interactions and agreements with area higher educational, research, cultural and medical institutions.

  • Higher Education in California
    ATTACHMENT 1 PPIC HIGHER EDUCATION CENTER HIGHER EDUCATION IN CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA’S HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM ADDRESSING CALIFORNIA’S SKILLS GAP EXPANDING COLLEGE ACCESS IMPROVING COLLEGE COMPLETION INCREASING EQUITY AND DIVERSITY INVESTING IN PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION MAKING COLLEGE AFFORDABLE California’s Higher Education System PPIC HIGHER EDUCATION CENTER SEPTEMBER 2017 California’s system is the largest—and one of the most diverse— in the nation California’s higher education system includes three public segments—the University of California (UC), the California State University (CSU), and the California Community Colleges. It also includes more than 150 private nonprofit colleges and about 200 for-profit institutions. In total, the state’s colleges and universities enroll more than two million students from a wide range of backgrounds. Most students attend public colleges, but a sizable share (25%) attend private schools. Indeed, private nonprofit colleges enroll more students than the University of California. Enrollment in private for-profit colleges has started to decline after increasing sharply for many years. Unlike most other states, California has no coordinating body for higher education. This makes goal setting, oversight, and coordination more challenging. The Master Plan for Higher Education, adopted by the state legislature in 1960, established a structure and a set of principles for public higher education that are still largely in effect. Through the Master Plan, the state’s public system was able to accommodate dramatic increases in enrollment for several decades while providing broad access and charging little or no tuition. But over the past two decades, tuition has risen sharply and enrollment has not kept up with demand—largely because of reductions in state support.
