The American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) is an independent nonprofit dedicated to academic freedom, academic excellence, and accountability at America’s colleges and universities. Since its founding in 1995, ACTA has counseled boards, educated the public, and published reports about such issues as good governance, historical literacy, core curricula, the free exchange of ideas, and accreditation. ACTA has previously published Best Laid Plans: The Unfulfilled Promise of Public Higher Education in California; The Diffusion of Light and Education: Meeting the Challenges of Higher Education in Virginia; Prepared in Mind and Resources? A Report on Public Higher Education in South Carolina; Made in Maine: A State Report Card on Public Higher Education; Here We Have Idaho: A State Report Card on Public Higher Education; At a Crossroads: A Report Card on Public Higher Education in Minnesota; For the People: A Report Card on Public Higher Education in Illinois; Show Me: A Report Card on Public Higher Education in Missouri; Shining the Light: A Report Card on Georgia’s System of Public Higher Education; and Governance in the Public Interest: A Case Study of the University of North Carolina System, among other state-focused reports. The mission of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy is to advance the constitutional ideals of liberty and justice for all Mississippians by employing an evidenced-based approach to public policy whereby the Center advocates for and advances true conservative ideas with policymakers, members of the media, business leaders, the academic community, and private citizens.

  • 2015 Gulf South Conference Softball Championship Tournament
    2015 Gulf South Conference Softball Championship Tournament April 30-May 2 Steel’s Diamond at Blazer Park, Valdosta, Ga. www.gscsports.org | @GulfSouth | #GSCSB HISTORY OF THE GULF SOUTH CONFERENCE Academic excellence and a leadership role in the NCAA’s Division II make the Gulf South Conference (GSC) something special. The GSC is a charter member of Division II and enters its 45th year as one of the premier conferences at any NCAA level. In the summer of 1970, six college presidents met to discuss athletics; when the meeting ended, a new league emerged—the Mid-South Conference—started by, and to this day run by, the CEOs, the first in NCAA history. It is that CEO-control and involvement that makes the league work and its 14 championships (football; men’s & women’s cross country, men’s & women’s soccer; volleyball, men’s & women’s basketball, men’s & women’s tennis, men’s & women’s golf, softball and baseball) so intensely contested. From that point forward, the GSC has been giant steps ahead of the D-II pack. Beginning in 1997, the league found neutral sites paying size- able guarantees for most of its team championships. NCAA Conventions regularly feature GSC-proposed or -inspired legislation. No one wins more regionals or earns more NCAA post-season bids. In 2004, the league purchased its own built-to-its-specification office space. But the crowning moment came in 2005-06, when the GSC debuted its highly successful “GSC-TV Live” package which included nine football games (now 11) and its men’s & women’s basketball tournament finals.

  • International Graduate Applications and Enrollment: Fall 2019
    International Graduate Applications and Enrollment: Fall 2019 By Enyu Zhou, Radomir Ray Mitic, Christian P.L. West, and Hironao Okahana February 2020 Table of Contents KEY TAKEAWAYS 2 REGIONAL ANALYSIS: SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA 5 DATA TABLES 6 NOTES AND DEFINITIONS 16 About the CGS International Graduate Admissions Survey 16 Data Analysis Methods 16 Focus Group Methodology 18 Flash Survey Methodology 18 Definitions 18 References 20 List of Institutions Contributing Fall 2019 Data 21 End Note 23 International Graduate Applications and Enrollment: Fall 2019 1 | P a g e KEY TAKEAWAYS After seeing declines in international graduate applications over two consecutive admission cycles, the U.S. institutions in the CGS International Graduate Admissions Survey reported increases in both applications and first-time enrollment of international graduate students. As Figure 1 shows, applications and first-time enrollment for master’s & certificate programs largely recovered to the Fall 2017 level, while doctoral applications and first-time enrollment have steadily increased over time. We offer context and additional takeaways from the Fall 2019 admission cycle data. Overall One-year Changes. The total number of international graduate applications received by U.S. degree-granting institutions participating in the CGS International Graduate Admissions Survey (N = 210) increased by 3% between Fall 2018 and Fall 2019, and the total first-time graduate enrollment rose by 4% (Tables A1 and A2). Changes in Applications. The overall increase in international applications between Fall 2018 and Fall 2019 appears to be driven largely by the 3% increase in master’s & certificate applications. The increase in master’s & certificate applications was particularly pronounced for Doctoral Universities with Highest Research Activity (N = 59, 3%) and Master’s Colleges and Universities and Other Institutions (N = 93, 11%).

    THE SNAKE RIVER BASIN ADJUDICATION THE FUTURE OF WATER IN THE WEST THE SNAKE RIVER BASIN ADJUDICATION THE FUTURE OF WATER IN THE WEST by Alvin M. Josephy III A Thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Environmental Studies The Evergreen State College June 2006 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people contributed to this thesis. All of them deserve mention here. Only a few can be: Adam Sowards, Assistant Professor of History introduced me to the writings of Mark Fiege and Richard White during a summer seminar, and showed me how to think of history in terms of environmental studies. Char Simons gave me the confidence to write more than emails. John Perkins re-introduced me in his patient way to the joys of scholarship. Cheri Lucas Jennings infused my work with enthusiasm and cause. John Peavey lent perspective. Randy Stapilus was actually there, and without his collection of notes and anecdotes there would have been little in the way of actual accounting here. Ellen Bishop took the magnificent cover picture, and lent it to me from her excellent book, In Search of Ancient Oregon. It is of course of Hells Canyon. Gary Snyder, although he doesn’t know it, for obvious reasons. (There’s just a lot of reasons for defending water that don’t fit into a legal brief.) Rebecca Miles, who reminded me at the end of the part the Nez Perce tribe has played in this story for the past ten thousand years. All the good folks in the MES office at the Evergreen State College who have put up with my meanderings for the past two years.
