Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite many accomplishments and a widely-praised system, there remain significant challenges to address in higher education in Virginia: (1) Although the state performs well in six-year graduation rates for bachelor degree programs, graduation rates at specific four-year institutions range from the very high end of the spectrum to the very low; (2) Growing burdens placed on students from the lowest income levels due to rising tuition charges is a public policy matter of great concern; (3) Statewide remediation rates of 18-21% for college freshmen indicate that improvement is needed in the P-12 system; (4) Rising enrollment demands risk loss of students to the public college system, with accompanying loss of access to higher education opportunity; (5) Lack of progress in advancing Virginia's national standing in research; and (6) Continued skill shortages, especially in nursing, teaching, engineering and technology. The intent of this plan is to establish clarity about state priorities, to inform a coordinated system of higher education within which distinctive institutions may operate with a high degree of autonomy, and to serve state and national needs at a high level of quality by focusing on access, alignment and investment. Twelve goals and accompanying strategies are articulated: (1) Enhance Access Through P-16 Curricular Alignment; (2) Enhance Access Through Improved Coordination of Information; (3) Enhance Affordability Through Financial Aid Advocacy; (4) Enhance Affordability Through Education and Investment Incentives; (5) Improve College Readiness Through Strengthened P-16 Cooperation and Communication; (6) Strengthen P-16 Coordination Through Expanded Data Collection and Analysis; (7) Support State Workforce Needs Through Strengthened Participation in Post-Secondary Education; (8) Conduct a Comprehensive Economic Impact Study of Higher Education; (9) Improve Alignment Between Higher Education and the Commonwealth's Workforce Needs; (10) Strengthen Academic Program Quality and Accountability Through Assessment; (11) Enhance Research Through Investment in Targeted Consortia; and (12) Enhance Research Through Investment in Infrastructure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s public universities educate 80% of our nation’s college students. But in the wake of rising demands on state treasuries, changing demographics, growing income inequality, and legislative indifference, many of these institutions have fallen into decline. Tuition costs have skyrocketed, class sizes have gone up, the number of courses offered has gone down, and the overall quality of education has decreased significantly. Here James C. Garland draws on more than thirty years of experience as a professor, administrator, and university president to argue that a new compact between state government and public universities is needed to make these schools more affordable and financially secure. Saving Alma Mater challenges a change-resistant culture in academia that places too low a premium on efficiency and productivity. Seeing a crisis of campus leadership, Garland takes state legislators to task for perpetuating the decay of their public university systems and calls for reforms in the way university presidents and governing boards are selected. He concludes that the era is long past when state appropriations can enable public universities to keep their fees low and affordable. Saving Alma Mater thus calls for the partial deregulation of public universities and a phase-out of their state appropriations. Garland’s plan would tie university revenues to their performance and exploit the competitive pressures of the academic marketplace to control costs, rein in tuition, and make schools more responsive to student needs. A much-needed blueprint for reform based on Garland’s real-life successes as the head of Miami University of Ohio, Saving Alma Mater will be essential for anyone concerned with the costs and quality of higher education in America today.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) begins development of a new six-year strategic plan for higher education, this report reviews progress made towards the goals of the 2002 plan, each to be accomplished by 2010: (1) Accommodate at least 61,000 additional students; (2) Increase Virginia's national standing in sponsored research; and (3) Enhance the Commonwealth's commitment to instructional quality. A comparison of the total enrollment of public and private (nonprofit) institutions in Virginia between 2000 and 2005 reveals that 49,276 additional students have enrolled. The Commonwealth has seen an increase of 13.2% in degrees awarded by its public colleges and universities between 2000-2001 and 2005-2006; the average time-to-degree for students pursuing a four-year degree has remained consistent, as has the average total credits earned by these students. The strategic plan specifically called for increases in Virginia institutions' national research rankings: the most recent data available on research expenditures indicates that research spending in Virginia increased by nearly 40%; however, the state remained ranked at 37th among all states and the District of Columbia. Overall faculty salary averages reached the 61st percentile in 1999-2000, exceeding the Commonwealth's goal of reaching the 60th percentile of peers. Virginia's faculty salaries did not, however, keep pace with peers between 2000 and 2003. The percentile rankings reached a low for all institutions in 2002-2003 but have begun to rebound since that time. This report overall represent movements in the desired direction and progress toward achieving the goals of the 2002 plan. It is envisioned that the next version of the statewide strategic plan will address specific and measurable goals, representing a new generation of higher education policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (Commission) has statutory responsibility for developing a five-year statewide master plan for higher education that sets forth system goals, objectives, and strategies and is aligned with meeting the goals of the state. The Legislature has identified in state code eight areas of special emphasis: economic and workforce development, education access and affordability, innovation, student preparation, degree and/or program completion, intra-and inter-system cooperation and collaboration, research, and teaching and learning. This new master plan meets the Commission's statutory obligation for the years 2013 to 2018 and is titled, "Leading the Way: Access. Success. Impact." It sets forth the overarching goals of the state's system of higher education and articulates strategic objectives to be met over its five-year scope. The master plan sets forth how the Commission will work toward the system's goals and provides recommendations for how institutions can help achieve these goals. The role of this master plan is to coordinate the efforts of the various institutions of higher education in the state in a way that recognizes and capitalizes on each institution's unique mission and contributions. Through the compact reporting process, the Commission asks each college and university to set goals consistent with this master plan and the institution's mission and to account for progress toward those goals. This new master plan for higher education renews a broad public agenda for higher education articulated in the previous master plan "Charting the Future," but, consistent with present and future economic needs and specific system challenges, brings to the fore pressing strategic priorities.

Download or read book Conducting Institutional Research in Non Campus Based Settings written by Robert K. Toutkoushian and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2008 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding the understanding of the nature of institutional research, this volume documents alternative ways that it is currently being carried out beyond the confines of a traditional campus-based IR office. Chapters show how institutional research is being conducted by public university system offices, state higher education coordinating boards, institutional-affiliated research offices, and higher education consultants. Chapter topics discussed include: Developing a Statewide Student Tracking Tool The Role of Consultants in Institutional Research Collaborating on State-Level Institutional Research in New Hampshire: NH Paper Using College Board Data to Examine Trends in New Hampshire's College-Bound Students Virginia Improves Teaching and Learning (VITAL): A Comprehensive Statewide Data System for Teacher Quality Confronting Ambiguity, Anarchy, and Crisis in Insitutional Research: Using Student Unit Record Databases in Extra-Institutional Research. Because these entities often do not have ready access to campus-specific data, they must be creative in finding ways to obtain data and information that enable them to provide a value-added function in the field. The chapter authors high-light ways in which these offices acquire and use information for institutional research. This is the 139th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Institutional Research. Always timely and comprehensive, New Directions for Institutional Research provides planners and administrators in all types of academic institutions with guidelines in such areas as resource coordination, information analysis, program evaluation, and institutional management.

Book excerpt: The changed strategic landscape of the 21st century has driven a shift to more flexible, adaptable capabilities across the spectrum of conflict. Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have demonstrated the validity of team warfare between air and land forces during open hostilities with an enemy. The time has come for innovative counter-air and counter-land concepts focused on medium- to large-scale conventional combat operations that will merge air and ground forces even more effectively into a single potent fighting force. Such is the focus of AirLandBattle21. A basic assumption in this study is that, during major combat operations, a relevant number of Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) will conduct distributed operations in a non-linear, non-contiguous and geographically separated fashion. The study introduces a flexible counter-air framework that allows for the most efficient use of limited air assets and advocates only the necessary levels of air control in different areas across the theatre. The study also offers alternative views of strategic attack and explores the critical role tactical airlift will play in employing and sustaining the brigade combat team.
