Tennessee Higher Education Fact Book: 2015-2016
Tennessee Higher Education Commission
In January 2010, the General Assembly passed the Complete College Tennessee Act (CCTA), a comprehensive reform agenda that seeks to transform public higher education through changes in academic, fiscal and administrative policies at the state and institutional level. While the higher education landscape has been shaped by the CCTA, higher education is evolving to adopt Governor Bill Haslam's statewide reform agenda, collectively known as the "Drive to 55." Calendar year 2015 ushered in a new long-range plan, the 2010-2015 Master Plan for Tennessee Higher Education, which sets the stage for continued transformational change in Tennessee higher education. Stated succinctly, this plan seeks to: (1) make dramatic increases in degree production and efficiency; (2) within available resources (state operating appropriations plus tuition); (3) without diminishing educational quality; (4) thereby improving community, county, and statewide postsecondary attainment; and (5) to support improvements in workforce capacity and quality as well as economic and community (i.e., workplace) development. This fact book contains tables and charts with data relevant to student participation, student success, academic and fiscal trends, outcomes funding, etc. The Fact Book is a resource for various stakeholders in higher education such as administrators, researchers, and legislators. A glossary is also included. [For the "Tennessee Higher Education Fact Book: 2014-2015," see ED572975.]
