Student Affairs Assessment: Measuring the Effectiveness of Assessment Plans Designed to Shrink the Academic Equity Gap
Rachel Mead
Journal of Student Affairs, New York University, v17 p109-122 2021
Research illustrates that student affairs are critical in decreasing inequity on college campuses (Schuh, 2010). The ever-growing complexities of students' lives and their struggles, when enrolled in college, further illustrates the need for student affairs professionals to provide support outside of the classroom (McClellan & Stringer, 2016). In this way, student affairs are contributing to the decline of inequities across higher education institutions. As the role of student affairs in higher education has become more prominent, assessing its effectiveness has been stressed. Creating outcomes-based assessment plans to measure the effectiveness of these support services is imperative in addressing inequities among student populations.
