Challenges are many-how best to deliver educational services in view of demographic shifts in South Dakota's population base, limited state resources, and far-reaching economic changes both nationally and internationally. The South Dakota Board of Regents is actively engaged in far-reaching discussions with policymakers and the public. The regents' 2003 report, "Opportunities for South Dakota," initially put focus to these discussions. Then in 2004, Gov. Mike Rounds launched his 2010 Education Initiative, a series of specific goals and action plans intended to improve the state's education system by the year 2010. The governor's initiative creates the roadmap for the future. In that future, Gov. Rounds sees a South Dakota education system "second to none in America--brimming with opportunity and innovative entrepreneurial thinking." From the regents' statewide conversations about issues and opportunities, four policy goals for the Board of Regents' system became evident: (1) Access--Every qualified South Dakotan shall have access to public postsecondary education; (2) Quality--South Dakota public universities and special schools shall provide a quality educational experience; (3) State Wealth--South Dakota public universities shall engage in activities designed to enhance the state's long-term economy; and (4) Efficiencies--South Dakota public universities and special schools shall continue to seek means for improving efficiency in the delivery of educational services. To gauge the progress, this "Fact Book Fiscal Year 2005 provides the single best source of information and data from the South Dakota Board of Regents' system. (Contains 51 tables and 18 graphs.).

This book was released on 2006 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional occupations will account for more than half the total U.S. job growth in the years to come, and talent is the principal resource that underpins this new economy. Creative individuals who can develop new ideas and new applications of existing knowledge are the entrepreneurs who will ensure future economic well-being. Education is the foundation upon which this community of South Dakota's future citizens will be built. The task ahead will fall largely on public education. The public education system is not just K-12 schools but includes as an integral part the public universities. In South Dakota, the Board of Regents is fortunate to have a strong partnership with the state's elementary and secondary education system. South Dakota's residents must continue to work hand in hand--pre-K-12 and with higher education--to develop a highly-educated workforce. One of the most important ways is to make sure young people strengthen their academic preparation, especially in math and science. This is one of the objectives of the South Dakota Opportunity Scholarship. The scholarship's second objective is to retain this talent in state for their postsecondary education. Higher-achieving young people who stay in South Dakota will offer a talent pool to compete with any in the world. Building a research-oriented faculty is a major change for South Dakota. The more than doubling of federal funding support for grants in recent years indicates the quality of the work that can be done in South Dakota. New Ph.D. programs, targeted research centers, graduate assistantships, and individual faculty research grants all work toward building a more robust research infrastructure for South Dakota. This will ensure that Governor Rounds' 2010 Initiative goal of developing the state as a research and technology leader is met. To gauge progress across the public higher education system, this "Fact Book Fiscal Year 2006" provides the single best source of information and data from the South Dakota Board of Regents. (Contains 56 tables and 21 graphs.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy and Performance in American Higher Education presents a new approach to understanding how public policy influences institutional performance, with practical insight for those charged with crafting and implementing higher education policy. Public institutions of higher learning are called upon by state governments to provide educational access and opportunity for students. Paradoxically, the education policies enacted by state legislatures are often complex and costly to implement, which can ultimately detract from that mission. Richard Richardson, Jr., and Mario Martinez evaluate the higher education systems of five states to explain how these policies are developed and how they affect the performance of individual institutions. The authors compare the higher education systems of New Mexico, California, South Dakota, New York, and New Jersey and describe the difficulty of enforcing state policies amid increasing demands for greater efficiency and accountability. In the process they identify the "rules in use"—rules that are central to the coherence and performance of higher education systems—that administrators apply to meet organizational goals within the constraints of changing, sometimes conflicting federal and state policies. Incorporating rich data from seven years of observations, interviews, and research, Richardson and Martinez offer a clear comparative framework for understanding state higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are looking for financial aid for women, or know women who are, then this is the directory for you. Here, in one place, are descriptions of nearly 1,500 scholarships, fellowships, loans, forgivable loans, grants, awards, and internships available specifically for women. This funding is open to women at any level (high school through postdoctoral and professional) for study, research, travel, training, career development, or innovative efforts. Each of these funding opportunities is completely described, including contact (address, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, and web sites), purpose, eligibility, financial data, duration, special features, limitations, number awarded, and deadline date. Plus, the directory provides a set of indexes that let you search the listings by specific subject, residency, where the money can be spent, program title, sponsoring organization, and even deadline date. There's no other directory like this for women. It has become the standard in the field! That's why School Library Journal called it "the cream of the crop," College Spotlight concluded "nobody does a better job," Small Press labels it "the quintessential acquisition," American Reference Books Annual called it "a must-purchase guide," and Reference Books Bulletin pronounced it "the only current source of information on financial aid specifically for women."
