Envisioning the National Postsecondary Infrastructure in the 21st Century
America's students, policymakers, and institutions need better information about our postsecondary system, especially in this era of rising college costs and stagnating completion rates. To address this problem, IHEP convened an expert working group to develop targeted recommendations for improving the national postsecondary data infrastructure. Below, explore the resulting series of 11 policy papers designed to inform state and federal data policy conversations.
Videos from the paper series launch event are now available online.
