Budget cuts may delay UI's strategic plan | press-citizen.com | Iowa City Press Citizen - 0 views

  • The plan identifies a goal to improve student retention from 83 percent to 88 percent by funding programs that help students feel more connected and engaged. If UI students feel more connected and engaged, UI officials think students will be more successful and more likely to stay at UI, Loh said.
  • Loh has discussed building "living-learning" communities where cohorts of 50 or 60 students live together and take similar classes. Creating more close knit niches for students would help reduce the feeling of being lost on a campus of 30,000 students.
  • UI could generate $2 million for every 1 percent retention increase, and net $1.1 million per 100 undergraduates based on current in-state and out-of-state student proportions, Loh said.
