Policy Committee Meeting February 13, 2017 11am – 3pm

Purposes and Goals of the Meeting To level set with members around the genesis of the Policy Committee, its role in formulating NEBHE’s policy agenda, the current activities of NEBHE’s policy and research department, and the work of NEBHE’s peer compact entities.

Attendees Matthea Daughtry Todd Leach Angel Perez Lou DiPalma Dr. Sally Reis Dan Egan James H. Page Joy Hearn James C.Q. Weggler James Purcell Carlos Santiago Joyce Judy Lou D’Allesandro Jeb Spaulding Dr. Ross Gittell Thomas Sullivan Michele Perkins

Summary The Policy Committee began its meeting by discussing the NEBHE’s history of utilizing a policy agenda. The merits of doing so include the opportunity to use NEBHE’s policy and research capacity to reduce the likelihood of states reinventing the wheel on higher education proposals. Committee members discussed a number of policy topics, including: • The interstate passport, it’s role in keeping students in the region and limiting the likelihood of students losing credit when transferring • Other states’ ability to leverage their office of higher education, as well as handle staffing and bandwidth challenges • An annual comparative data report for the region • The financial viability of institutions and public investment • Collaborations/partnerships between public and private institutions (in light of enrollment decreases, etc.); NEBHE’s role in formalizing connections with employers • Affordability and completion as the crux of any agenda • Free college policies and how they impact regional enrollment and completion • A comparison of tax credits that incentivize graduates to stay in state • Re-engaging adults in higher education • Readiness, K-12 data and support for transitions • Opportunities to increase funding to postsecondary education, grant and scholarship aid

Next Steps • NEBHE will create a summary of the meeting and discussion, for sharing with the Policy Committee • NEBHE will create, distribute and summarize a survey of other NEBHE Board members regarding key issues and priorities • NEBHE will summarize the key themes from the 2/13/17 meeting, along with those from the proposed Board survey, for sharing with the Board at the April meeting • NEBHE will explore the feasibility of a meeting of the Policy Committee at the April Board Meeting in Boston, TBD based on other meetings (Legislative Advisory Committee and State Higher Education Executive Officer meetings) • Otherwise, NEBHE staff will propose an alternative meeting date for follow up and further development of a draft of a formal, Policy Committee-informed Policy Agenda

Issue Survey of the Board, March 2017: Results Board members were asked to identify the top three priority areas for their institution, organization or state.

Next, board members were asked to rate the importance of policy areas that are trending regionally and nationally. Of the ten topics offered, the following were rated most important: • State student aid programs and adequacy • Employability of graduates • Competition for student admits (including tuition discounting) • Remedial education

Areas that rated somewhat important included: • Adult and returning students • State longitudinal data systems to assess attainment, graduate outcomes and salaries • Dual enrollment and early college

Areas that were rated least important included: • Undocumented students • Adult and returning students • Transfer of credits and articulation

Finally, the board provided feedback on the types of information provided by NEBHE that are much useful to their work. The top five types of information were: • Legislative summaries from the past legislative session • Policy briefs on specific policy issues • Information on best practices and programs in specific topic areas • Landscape analysis of New England state policies in specific topic areas

Summary The newly formed Commission on Higher Education and Employability is a regional endeavor of the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) to be chaired by Governor Gina Raimondo of Rhode Island. The expected duration of the Commission is 10 months.

While New England is world-renowned for its high-quality colleges and universities, the region’s employers remain concerned about a lack of qualified, skilled workers, particularly in technology-intensive and growth- oriented industries. The challenges of low population growth and increasing global competitiveness require policymakers, business leaders and higher education to collaborate to maximize the region’s human capital potential, ensure the economic productivity of its workforce and improve the well-being of its residents.

Purpose The purpose of the Employability Commission is to develop an action agenda, policy recommendations, strategies and next steps to align institutions, policymakers and industry to increase the career readiness of graduates of New England colleges and universities—and facilitate their successful transitions to work and sustained contributions to the well-being and competitiveness of the region.

Focus Accordingly, key areas for investigation and deliberation by the Employability Commission include:

• Increasing postsecondary opportunities for work-integrated, experiential and cooperative learning (for example, internships, field placements), including via policy incentives and student-aid programs; • Effective use of labor market data and other information to inform programs, policy and practice; • Re-envisioning advising and career services offered by colleges to better align supply and demand and implement best practices and “disruptive” approaches; • In-demand skill “bundles” that might include fundamental IT and coding skills, knowledge of the digital economy, data analytics, cloud computing, technology security and entrepreneurship or other essential 21st century skills; • Policies related to new credentials, including the recognition and aggregation of postsecondary and non- postsecondary training and the work experiences of working adults and veterans.

Key Questions The Commission will endeavor to answer several critical questions, including:

• What are the respective roles of higher education, business/industry and government in increasing employability? • Where are the most acute and evident needs—in terms of student/graduate populations, industry/sector and demand/supply? • How can states better align public policy with institutional policy and practice to increase employability? • What are the primary ways in which New England HEIs can improve the career readiness, employability and work transition successes of their students—and rethink the ways in which they address such issues? • How can HEIs improve the ways in which they frame, assess, document and interpret the knowledge, skills and competencies their students/graduates acquire? How can they engage industry and employers in the process? • What new and/or crosscutting skills that employers seek, for maximum employability of graduates? • What best practices, cutting-edge policies or leading strategies can be adopted in the six New England states and in both public and independent HEIs? • How should institutional and public policy be informed and improved to address such needs and issues? • What rubrics, frameworks or self-study tools can assist HEIs to assess and improve practices and polices related to employability? • What are the best models for linking HEIs, workforce data and business/industry? • How can states and HEIs better document the employment transitions, readiness and outcomes of students/graduates?
