Download or read book Outcomes Based Funding and Race in Higher Education written by Tiffany Jones and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how Performance or Outcomes Based Funding (POBF) policies impact racial equity in higher education. Over the last decade, higher education has become entrenched in a movement that holds colleges and universities more accountable to its supporters. There are pressures to answer questions about student outcomes and performance, the value of education, the effectiveness of instructors, and the ability of existing leaders to manage efficiently and effectively. It is within this climate that states have adopted POBF policies. Through POBF, public colleges and universities receive state funding through formulas that no longer rely solely on student enrollment, but are instead based on student outcomes. This book provides an overview for policymakers of how racial equity has been addressed, the impact of these approaches, and recommendations for moving forward.
Download or read book Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-07-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order for the United States to maintain the global leadership and competitiveness in science and technology that are critical to achieving national goals, we must invest in research, encourage innovation, and grow a strong and talented science and technology workforce. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation explores the role of diversity in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce and its value in keeping America innovative and competitive. According to the book, the U.S. labor market is projected to grow faster in science and engineering than in any other sector in the coming years, making minority participation in STEM education at all levels a national priority. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation analyzes the rate of change and the challenges the nation currently faces in developing a strong and diverse workforce. Although minorities are the fastest growing segment of the population, they are underrepresented in the fields of science and engineering. Historically, there has been a strong connection between increasing educational attainment in the United States and the growth in and global leadership of the economy. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation suggests that the federal government, industry, and post-secondary institutions work collaboratively with K-12 schools and school systems to increase minority access to and demand for post-secondary STEM education and technical training. The book also identifies best practices and offers a comprehensive road map for increasing involvement of underrepresented minorities and improving the quality of their education. It offers recommendations that focus on academic and social support, institutional roles, teacher preparation, affordability and program development.

Download or read book Strategic Plan to Ensure Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Connecticut Public Higher Education 2007 Annual Report written by Connecticut. Department of Higher Education and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing the participation of minority groups at public colleges and universities is a longstanding goal of the Board of Governors for Higher Education, as first outlined in its 1983 "Strategic Plan to Ensure Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Connecticut Public Higher Education." The minority groups defined by the plan are: Hispanic/Latino, African American, Asian American and Native American--listed in order of their current proportional presence in the state's population. Since enactment of the "Strategic Plan", students attending and graduating from Connecticut's public colleges and universities have become more racially and ethnically diverse and 2006 continues a trend of year-to-year incremental progress. The number of minority group members among both enrolled students and degree recipients at the undergraduate level reached record levels. There has also been a steady increase in the number of minority group members employed as professionals at public institutions. The overall trends are: (1) In fall 2006, minorities numbered 24,278 or 25.3 percent of all undergraduate students enrolled in the state's public institutions of higher education, exceeding their proportional presence in the state's population for the ninth consecutive year; (2) During the 2005-06 academic year, minority students received 2,476 or 18.9 percent of all undergraduate degrees (associate and bachelor's degrees) conferred by the state's public colleges and universities; and (3) Among full-time professionals employed by the state's public institutions of higher education, 1,444 were minority group members at the end of 2006. Despite impressive growth over the course of the past 23 years, disproportional levels of achievement in minority enrollment, graduation and employment persist. Persistent areas of racial/ethnic disparity in Connecticut's public higher education include: (1) Hispanic/Latinos are the only minority group whose overall undergraduate enrollment level has not reached its proportion of the state's population; (2) Hispanic/Latino and African American students are overrepresented in their enrollment at community colleges and underrepresented at universities; (3) Disproportionate numbers of Hispanic/Latino and African American students who enroll in college fail to attain an undergraduate degree; and (4) Hispanic/Latinos are underrepresented in each of the professional occupational categories within the professional workforce of the public institutions of higher education. This report summarizes the activities and progress achieved in 2006 to ensure that Connecticut's public colleges and universities are representative of the state's racial and ethnic diversity. (Contains 25 tables and 6 graphs.).

Book excerpt: This report presents data on the plans and expectations, preparation and course-taking patterns, college enrollment rates, and college persistence and completion of minorities in comparison with the majority, white population. The data reported show the following: (1) that while almost all high school seniors expect to complete at least some college, Hispanic seniors are less likely to plan to attend college right after high school; (2) that black and Hispanic graduates are less likely than white peers to make an immediate transition to college with Hispanics more likely to enroll in two-year colleges; (3) that white and Asian/Pacific Islanders are more likely than black and Hispanic counterparts to persist toward a bachelor's degree; (4) that black and American Indian/Alaskan Native graduates are less likely than white and Asian/Pacific Islanders to earn a bachelor's degree in 4 years or less; (5) that while several minority groups major in fields that will help them recoup college costs, black, Hispanic, and Asian/Pacific Islanders are less likely than whites to major in education, with the last-named group more likely than whites to major in computer science and engineering. The report also reviews an alternative approach to assessing these data. (Contains 35 references.) (CH)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comparative study of the history and development of indigenous and ethnic higher education in the US and China. The author focuses on institutions serving American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIANs) and Chinese Ethnic Minorities (CEMs), such as Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in the US and Ethnic Minority Serving Institutions (EMSIs) in China. Chapters center voices within indigenous and ethnic education, including experts, senior administrators, and faculty members as well as AIAN tribal leaders and activists. These voices enrich the study and provide context to explore the issues and challenges surrounding ethnic and minority-serving higher education institutions today. Finally, the author addresses strategies and practices for the future which will better serve AIAN and CEM students and communities.
Download or read book College in Black and White written by Walter R. Allen and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1991-07-03 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports findings from the National Study of Black College Students, a comprehensive study of Black college students characteristics, experiences, and achievements as related to student background, institutional context, and interpersonal relationships. Over 4,000 undergraduates and graduate/professional students on sixteen campuses (eight historically Black and eight predominantly White) participated in this mail survey. Using these and other data, this book systematically examines the current state of Black students in U.S. higher education. Until now, our understanding has been limited by inadequate data, misguided theories, and failure to properly interpret the Black American reality. This volume challenges our assumptions and contributes to the growing body of knowledge about Black student experiences and outcomes in higher education.
Download or read book Affirmative Action and the University written by Kul B. Rai and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affirmative Action and the University is the only full-length study to examine the impact of affirmative action on all higher education hiring practices. Drawing onødata provided by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the U.S. Department of Education?s National Center for Education Statistics, the authors summarize, track, and evaluate changes in the gender and ethnic makeup of academic and nonacademic employees at private and public colleges and universities from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s. Separate chapters assess changes in employment opportunities for white women, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and Native Americans. The authors look at the extent to which a two-tier employment system exists. In such a system minorities and women are more likely to make their greatest gains in non-elite positions rather than in faculty and administrative positions. The authors also examine differences in hiring practices between public and private colleges and universities.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing the participation of minority groups at public colleges and universities is a longstanding goal of the Board of Governors for Higher Education, as first outlined in its 1983 "Strategic Plan to Ensure Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Connecticut Public Higher Education." The minority groups defined by the plan are: Hispanic/Latino, African American, Asian American and Native American--listed in order of their current proportional presence in the state's population. Subsequently, the Board's "Strategic Plan" was enacted by the state legislature, which since 1986 has provided the Board with an annual allocation to promote achievement of the plan's diversity goals. Although the plan mandates no numeric goals, it holds campuses to the ideal that the racial and ethnic make-up of their students, graduates and professional staff should reflect the diversity of the state's residents. The overall trends are: (1) In fall 2005, minorities numbered 23,537 or 24.9 percent of all undergraduate students enrolled in the state's public institutions of higher education, exceeding their proportional presence in the state's population for the eighth consecutive year; (2) During the 2004-05 academic year, minority students received 2,202 or 17.9 percent of all undergraduate degrees (associate and bachelor's degrees) conferred by the state's public colleges and universities; and (3) Among full-time professionals employed by the state's public institutions of higher education, 1,564 or 17.8 percent were minority group members at the end of 2005. This report summarizes the activities and progress achieved in 2005 to ensure that Connecticut's public colleges and universities are representative of the state's racial and ethnic diversity. Appended are: (1) Undergraduate Enrollment; (2) Undergraduate Degree Recipients; and (3) Projections. (Contains 22 tables and 6 graphs.).
