13. NASH Initiatives National Association of System Heads (NASH) Two initiatives: –Low-income & under represented student access & success –Success in math especially as it relates to the above groups Math project requires campus involvement –Albany, Brockport, Oswego, Potsdam, Hudson Valley, and Monroe

14. Immediate College-Going Increasing for All Groups: 1980 to 2002 Source: U.S. Dept. of Education, NCES, The Digest of Education Statistics 2002 (2003), Table 183 AND U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey Report, October 2002.

15. College Going Increasing for High School Grads at All Income Levels Source: US Department of Commerce, Bureau of Census, October Current Population Surveys, 1972-2000, in US DOE, NCES, The Condition of Education 2002, p.166. *Due to small sample sizes, 3-year averages used for Low-income category

16. But though college going up for minorities, gains among whites have been greater

18. And though college going up for low-income students, they still haven’t reached rate of high income students in mid- seventies.

20. Highest Achieving Low-Income Students Attend Postsecondary at Same Rate as Bottom Achieving High- Income Students Source: NELS: 88, Second (1992) and Third Follow up (1994); in, USDOE, NCES, NCES Condition of Education 1997 p. 64

21. But access isn’t the only issue: There’s a question of access to what…

23. Why? A lot of reasons, but shifts in financial aid resources likely to be one culprit.

25. Maximum Pell Grant Coverage of Cost of College

27. But it turns out that the shifts away from poor students in institutional aid money are MORE PRONOUNCED than the shifts in government aid.

30. Looking a little deeper, Flagships and other Public Research Extensive Universities

31. Important Reminder: Flagships spend more money on aid than their students receive from either federal or state sources. They could choose to cushion the effects of increased cost on poor students. But they don’t.

32. Big increases in spending on high income students

33. Typical institutional grant recipient in low- income family now gets LESS than typical grant recipient in high income family

34. Cost remaining after grant aid is high percentage of family income for poor

35. Not surprisingly, representation of low-income students in flagships has declined!

36. Inevitable? No. Many high-achieving students entering non-selective colleges. Among our most accomplished high school students, those from high income families are about four times as likely to enroll in highly selective institutions as equally accomplished low- and middle- income students.

37. Yet, some institutions do much better Pell in all Colleges in state Pell in Flagship Grade UC Berkeley 29%34%A SUNY Buffalo 41%38%A LSU48%19%F Univ of Michigan 34%14%F

38. NASH INITIATIVE: Can collaborative work on these issues make sense? If so, what would it look like?

39. Access Metric Low Income Access: –% Pell freshmen / % HS grads (18 to 22) in low income households (less than $40K) URM Access: –% URM freshmen / % HS grads URM

40. Success Metric #1 Low Income GRS: –% Pell / % non-Pell –% Pell transfer / % non-Pell transfers URM GRS: –% URM / % non-URM –%URM transfer / % non-URM 2 & 3 year rates/ 4, 5, & 6 year rates

41. Success Metric #2 Low Income Grads: –% degrees to Pell recipients / % undergrad Pell recipients URM Grads: –% degrees to URM / % undergrad URM STEM subset metrics also

42. New Info Request SDF & ADF do not identify Pell recipients Campuses need to provide System: –Pell recipients in “new” baccalaureate cohorts back to 1998 –Back to 2001 for new associate cohorts All Pell recipients in 2005 & 2006 SDF All Pell recipients in 2005-06 ADF
