    "The Imperatives for Change (IFC) Baseline Report is the culmination of a year of collaborative work among MDHE staff, institutional leaders and staff, and other valued stakeholders. The Baseline Report establishes the starting point for Missouri's statewide strategic plan for higher education, and includes four sections that contain baseline data information, expanded data and analysis, technical methodologies and data definitions, and institutional-specific performance measures selected and agreed upon by public two-year and four-year institutions."

    Under the LA Grad Act, four-year institutions agree to achieve certain standards in exchange for authority to increase tuition. The performance objectives are aimed at improving college completion and meeting the state's workforce and economic development needs. One performance objective - efficiency and accountability - requires four-year institutions that enter into agreements to eliminate remedial education course offerings and developmental study programs unless such courses or programs cannot be offered at a community college in the same geographic area.

  • Among students who begin in a two-year college, only 12 percent of underrepresented minority students and 16 percent of other students transfer to a four-year institution. Among transfers, only 55 percent of the minorities and 61 percent of other students earn a bachelor’s within six years of transferring. In sum, then, only about seven percent of minority students—and 10 percent of nonminority students—who begin in a two-year college earn a bachelor’s degree from any institution in these large systems within 10 years of starting college. These rates are far lower than for students who begin even in nonselective four-year colleges.
  • We can’t afford to waste this much talent. Indeed, a recent report from the independent, congressionally chartered Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance painted a stark picture of the consequences of current attendance patterns. According to the committee’s calculations, the combination of three forces—the increasing cost of college, insufficient need-based grant aid, and an enrollment shift among college-qualified students toward the two-year sector—resulted in a loss of between 1.7 and 3.2 million bachelor’s degrees over the last decade.

    Piece from Kati Haycock from Ed Trust on the movement to push more students, particularly low-income students toward two-year institutions and the potential impact on bachelor's degree attainment. This could be useful piece for the push to move remedial education exclusively to community colleges.

    Urges policymakers to focus the mission of community colleges in three core areas: basic skills education, career technical education and preparation for transfer to four-year universities. The Commission called for shifting adult basic education from the state education department to the community college system, and for giving more authority to the chancellor to oversee the campuses.

    Washington's Student Achievement Initiative measures student progress for the incremental gains made that lead to college success. These measures, called momentum points, are in four categories: improving preparation for college-level courses, building towards a year of college credit, completing college math, and completing certificates, degrees and apprenticeships. This paper describes the success of basic skills students in transitioning to college-level classes, and the momentum they gain towards college success.

    Ohio is shifting remedial education to community colleges and soon will no longer fund these courses at most four-year institutions. The shift, along with efforts to ease credit transfers between institutions, are meant to save students money. Ohio also will be developing standards for college readiness.

    The Pathway to the Baccalaureate program at Northern Virginia Community College gives students a structured system of support from high school to community college to a four-year university. Pathway is designed to meet a range of student needs -- academic, financial or personal -- through one coherent program. Specially designed "fast-track remediation" classes in math and English attempt to steer some students clear of traditional remedial classes, where they can get bogged down unnecessarily. The program also uses learning communities.

    Examines data from Washington State to chart the educational pathways of first-time community college students, with a focus on those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Looks at rates at which students enter a program of study or concentration, amount of remediation taken by students, and rates at which students earn certificates or associate degrees, or transfer to four-year institutions. The paper makes recommendations for practitioners and policymakers. (Community College Research Center, September, 2011)
