    August 31, 2015 The Honorable Arne Duncan U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202 Dear Secretary Duncan: As college and university leaders, we appreciate the U.S. Department of Education’s responsiveness to concerns from the higher education community about a post-secondary rating system. Moreover, we support the Department’s recent announcement that it is instead focusing on the development of consumer-focused tools with newly available data. This effort could benefit students and their families, policymakers, and the public by providing them with new comparison tools and additional information on post-secondary institutions. That is why we are writing you about the Student Achievement Measure (SAM), a voluntary web-based tool that allows institutions to show the progress and graduation of significantly more students than the federal graduation rate. We know you share our belief that the most accurate data available should be used in order for these new tools to be effective and meaningful. Federal graduation rates as reported through the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) are a key piece of data likely under consideration for the new reporting tool. However, the commonly used federal graduation rate is limited to the success of first-time, full-time college students who graduate from their original institution. This has led to a misrepresentation of institutional performance because the federal rate does not account for the success of all students – particularly those students who attend multiple institutions. This month a report from the National Student Clearinghouse revealed that more than one- third of the 3.8 million first-time, full-time students who entered college in 2008 transferred at least once within six years and nearly half of those students changed institutions multiple times.

  • War Eagles: Auburn University's Tradition of Training Soldiers By
    War Eagles: Auburn University’s Tradition of Training Soldiers by Daniel Garrison McCall A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Auburn, Alabama May 4, 2014 Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, Army, Auburn University, Specialized Training Program, Summer Camp, Land-grant Copyright 2014 by Daniel McCall Approved by Mark Sheftall, Assistant Professor of History Charles Israel, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Associate Professor of History David Carter, Associate Professor of History Abstract As a land-grant university, Auburn University maintains a tradition of training American soldiers. Its Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) unit was once central to campus life, but in 1969 the university eliminated its mandatory ROTC program. Having offered a remarkable contribution to national defense, as a case study Auburn University Army ROTC embodies an exceptional microcosm for understanding how the United States government has prepared the Army to fight wars requiring mass mobilization. With the old model of cadet training based upon raising a mass army to fight wars in the industrial age and the new model based upon fighting wars with more powerful weaponry but fewer personnel in the modern age of science and technology, examining how these developments within the Army interrelate to the evolution of Auburn University Army ROTC provides an opportunity to consider the significance of how Auburn’s commitment as a land-grant university to supporting ROTC has remained constant, although the centrality of Army ROTC to campus life is dramatically different. ii Table of Contents Abstract ..............................................................................................................................
