Scholarly communications and the role of the liberal arts college library By Diane J. Graves University Librarian and Professor Trinity University, San Antonio TX1 A little economic history The conversation on scholarly communication (often referred to as a “crisis”) has its origins in the mid- 1980s. At that time, the balance of trade between the United States and its trading partners in Europe was so far out of balance that American products could not compete internationally. The Reagan Administration, seeking to correct the problem, devalued the dollar at the so-called Plaza Accord on September 22, 1985.i In that moment, the price of journals in many Scientific, Technical, Engineering and Medical (STEM) fields, jumped—in some cases by as much as 25%. Many of the top journals were published by British or European for-profit houses, such as Pergamon, Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Blackwell’s, Taylor & Francis, and others.

  • Lafayette College: Staying Ahead of the Game
    Vol. 15 LAFAYETTE COLLEGE: STAYING AHEAD OF THE GAME Lafayette College’s football history is as rich as it is varied, from laying claim to the the first use of the helmet in 1896, to the long standing rivalry with nearby Lehigh University dating back to 1884. But these days, it is the Leopards’ future that has taken on even greater importance. With the opening of the Bourger Varsity Football House, Lafayette’s team has entered into a league all its own. The 24,000 square-foot building, part of a $23 million stadium renovation, contains the team’s locker room, strength and conditioning areas, and sports medicine facilities, including a hydrother- apy room. The upper level houses coaches’ offices, each with a flat screen display for reviewing games, several meeting rooms equipped with custom control systems and full presentation capabilities, and one room large enough to accommodate the entire team. That area, which can also be divided into four separate units, features the same level of class- room technology found across the campus. “The experience we have with our smart classroom tech- nology allowed us to easily adapt to this rather unique setting with great results, ” stated E.J. Hudock, Academic Technology Facilities Manager for Lafayette. One of the very special features of the Bourger Varsity Football House is the highly personalized conference room on the second floor. The program- ming team at Vistacom worked with Lafayette to develop special graphic elements for the control system interface such as helmets for source buttons and a log in system utilizing the jersey numbers which are displayed on top of a Leopard’s jersey graphic.

  • Using Institutional Characteristics to Estimate Return on College Education
    Trinity College Trinity College Digital Repository Senior Theses and Projects Student Scholarship Spring 2018 Using Institutional Characteristics to Estimate Return on College Education Nate Choukas Trinity College, Hartford Connecticut, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses Part of the Econometrics Commons Recommended Citation Choukas, Nate, "Using Institutional Characteristics to Estimate Return on College Education". Senior Theses, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 2018. Trinity College Digital Repository, https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses/710 Running Head: ESTIMATING RETURN ON COLLEGE EDUCATION Using Institutional Characteristics to Estimate Return on College Education Nathaniel R. Choukas Trinity College ESTIMATING RETURN ON COLLEGE EDUCATION 2 Abstract Since the 1980s, the college wage-premium in the United States has reached all time highs. As a result, college education is a critical benchmark in securing high paying jobs. While the bachelor’s degree serves as a gateway into more lucrative careers, postsecondary education can be very costly, with some taking on substantial amounts of debt to finance their schooling. Despite the increasing wage-premium, there is an even wider earnings disparity amongst college graduates than between graduates and non-graduates. Research on higher education returns suggests that most individuals – even those ranked as having low ability – benefit financially from their investment in education. At the institutional level; however, some schools produce median returns on investment that are well below zero. This begs the question, why are a considerable number of the nation’s higher education institutions underserving their students? I use OLS to test the hypothesis that schools in rural settings displaced from major cities, and with religious affiliation will be critical variables in explaining college return on investment.

  • IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT 2 Haverford College
    Image description. Cover Image End of image description. What Is IPEDS? The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of survey components that collects data from all institutions that provide postsecondary education and are eligible to receive Title IV funding across the United States and other U.S. jurisdictions. These data are used at the federal and state level for policy analysis and development; at the institutional level for benchmarking and peer analysis; and by students and parents, through the College Navigator (https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/), an online tool to aid in the college search process. Additional information about IPEDS can be found on the website at https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds. What Is the Purpose of This Report? The Data Feedback Report is intended to provide institutions a context for examining the data they submitted to IPEDS. The purpose of this report is to provide institutional executives a useful resource and to help improve the quality and comparability of IPEDS data. What Is in This Report? The figures in this report provide a selection of indicators for your institution to compare with a group of similar institutions. The figures draw from the data collected during the 2019-20 IPEDS collection cycle and are the most recent data available. The inside cover of this report lists the pre-selected comparison group of institutions and the criteria used for their selection. The Methodological Notes at the end of the report describe additional information about these indicators and the pre-selected comparison group. Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data? Each institution can access previously released Data Feedback Reports from 2005 and customize this 2020 report by using a different comparison group and IPEDS variables of its choosing.

His great- grandson, Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg, D.D, became presi- dent of the college in 1867. While chartered as a Lutheran institution, Muhlenberg is quite welcoming to members of all faiths. For example, according to Hillel.org, Muhlenberg is one of the top 60 colleges attracting Jewish students. Approximately 750 of the college’s 2,300 un- dergraduates are Jews. Another third are Catholic while a quar- ter are Protestant. The college also has an academic advisor who assists students who want to attend theological seminaries after graduation, unique for a small school. Today Muhlenberg appeals largely to students who live in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states though students from other regions and countries are represented. Students from Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey and New York represent the largest share of the student population, with more than one third coming from New Jersey alone. Allentown, the college’s home, is quite close to the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border. Muhlenberg attracts very good-to-excellent students; they stay and they finish. While test-optional, the middle 50 percent of ac- cepted students scored between 1140 and 1340 (out of 1600) 2 on the Critical Reading and Math sections of the SAT.
