Brickman, Michael – American Enterprise Institute, 2021
Education reformers have spent decades doggedly working to improve student outcomes in K-12 education by championing policies spanning federal, state, and local jurisdictions. Higher education is a much different story. Policy ideas at the federal level are plentiful; however, state- or institution-level policies are examined and implemented far…

Callahan, Rebecca M.; Jiang, Lei; Núñez, Anne-Marie – Educational Policy, 2023
Although current and former English Learner (EL) or "ever-EL" students comprise one of the fastest-growing K-12 populations, we still know relatively little about the factors that influence their college-going. Using Perna's seminal college-going model as a launching point, we propose a policy-driven empirical approach to explore how…

Jabbar, Huriya; Epstein, Eliza; Sánchez, Joanna; Hartman, Catherine – Community College Review, 2021
Objective: For many students, community college is a convenient first step toward a bachelor's degree. Yet, although more than 80% of those who enroll in community colleges intend to transfer to a 4-year institution, fewer than 35% do so within 6 years. Quantitative data reveal the presence of a transfer gap and there is extensive research on…

McGrath, Susan; Rogers, Lynne – British Educational Research Journal, 2021
Less-advantaged students are under-represented at prestigious universities, but can we infer that they actively avoid them? This research measured university applicants' knowledge of 115 UK universities. Using card-sort tasks within an interview format, 56 Year 13 students from different types of 16-19 education described how they chose five…

Anderson, Charity – Educational Review, 2021
Local-level, place-based scholarships -- synonymous with "promise" scholarships -- are a policy strategy to improve college completion in the United States by directing financial aid to students in a particular school, district, or geographical area. There are currently upwards of 90 place-based scholarship programs across the US, most…

Ruffalo Noel Levitz, 2022
The pandemic period of the past two years has altered many aspects of the high school and college experience for students. With more emphasis on hybrid and virtual experiences, how has this impacted the college search process for high school students? What do they value, what do they need to know, and what information have they seen? Ruffalo Noel…

Neves, Jonathan; Stephenson, Rose – Higher Education Policy Institute, 2023
Several of the key measures in this year's Student Academic Experience Survey have moved in a positive direction, but these movements have tended to be relatively small. Value-for-money perceptions have improved, but not statistically significantly, while there has been no change in the proportion who would choose the same course and institution…

Elliott, Diane Cardenas – Journal of The First-Year Experience & Students in Transition, 2021
This study explored how collegiate norms of independence characterized the early collegiate experiences of men of color. More specifically, this study focuses on how men of color received cues and responded to collegiate norms that accentuate independence. Two prevalent themes that centered on internalization of normative expectations of…

Neves, Jonathan; Brown, Alexis – Higher Education Policy Institute, 2022
After two demanding years for everybody in higher education, and particularly for students, it is encouraging to see that in most parts of the UK, undergraduates are beginning to see better value-for-money, and fewer students are reporting poor or very poor value from their academic experience. With much more frequent 'face-to-face' teaching,…

Delisle, Jason D., Ed. – American Enterprise Institute, 2022
A long overdue, much needed transformation is underway in the higher education system. It started a decade ago, when federal and state policymakers first began to collect data on what students earn after pursuing a postsecondary education. But new data are fundamentally different. Unlike broad-based national statistics, such as how much someone…

In 2015, the commitment to documenting trends in higher education equity was renewed by publishing…

Linkow, Tamara; Parsad, Amanda; Martinez, Alina; Miller, Hannah – National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, 2021
Decisions about whether and where to go to college can make a difference in students' later success. However, many students from low-income families--"undermatch"--they do not enroll at all or do not enroll in the most selective college they likely could attend. This study investigated whether promising advising strategies, bundled…

Neves, Jonathan; Hewitt, Rachel – Higher Education Policy Institute, 2021
Many of the headline findings reflected in this year's Student Academic Experience Survey (SAES) 2021 will be disappointing to the sector, though perhaps not entirely unexpected. The 2021 SAES was offered to over 47,000 undergraduate students in the United Kingdom (UK) and took place between 2 February 2021 and 22 March 2021, with all four parts…
