Evaluation and State Policy Issues

The State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) will be bringing the lessons of these efforts to their members, highlighting areas in which state system policies and regulations need to be reexamined in light of the Win-Win experience. The SHEEO formative evaluation of all institutional efforts will include in its consideration such issues as cost-benefits, comparative demographics (i.e. aggregate portraits of the student populations to whom degrees are awarded and those placed in the line of “potential” completers compared with degree recipients under regular progression), types of “holds” on degrees that are products of institutional and state policies, and degree audit procedures and problems. The SHEEO presence, activities, and advocacies will have considerable multiplier effects.
