  23. Race/ethnicity – some history Proposed Dept of ED guidance posted in Federal Register 8/7/06 Public comment period ended 9/21/06 Final guidance includes discussion of comments received

  24. Final Guidance • Calls for implementation no by Fall 2010, in order to report data for the 2010-11 academic year • Covers 2 separate issues: • Collection of R/E data by institutions • Reporting of aggregate data to US Dept of ED

  25. Collection by institutions • Two-question format REQUIRED: • Is respondent Hispanic/Latino? • Respondent selects one or more races: • American Indian or Alaska Native • Asian • Black or African American • Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander • White

  26. Additionally… • Standards call for self-identification of race/ethnicity • If missing, ensure that respondent is refusing rather than overlooking • Dept of ED encourages institutions to allow current students and staff to re-identify their race and ethnicity

  27. Nonresident aliens Race/ethnicity unknown Hispanics of any race For non-Hispanics only: American Indian or Alaska Native Asian Black or African American Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander White 2 or more races Reporting aggregate data – 9 categories

  28. R/E Technical Review Panel • IPEDS R/E TRP held last fall to discuss implementation issues, such as: • If students are no longer at the institution, how to report? (C, GRS) • If data are collected in 2 formats for several years, how to release?

  29. Proposed implementation • 2008-09 and 2009-10 • Optional years • 2010-11 • Mandatory year for EF, HR • 3rd optional year for C, E12, GRS • 2011-12 • Mandatory for all components

  30. 5+7+2 Format • Will be used in data collection system in optional years • 5 = current categories • 7 = new categories • 2 = Nonresident alien, R/E unknown • Institutions have option to report • All individuals using current categories • All individuals using new categories • Mixed reporting

  31. Proposed timeline

  32. Data Release • College Navigator • Show only selected R/E categories for comparability • PAS • Navigator categories • Raw data + flag

  33. Data Release • DFR and ExPT • New categories when available • Navigator categories during mixed years • DAS and First Look pubs • Navigator categories

  34. Questions for institutions • Categories needed for collection • Aggregation for reporting to IPEDS • Data storage, file maintenance, updating • Re-surveying • Mapping or bridging

  35. HEA Reauthorization

  36. HEA Reauthorization Senate passed its version in July (S1642) House Republicans introduced a bill 10/4/07 (HR3746), but House has also passed bill to extend current HEA through 4/30/08 Possible (but unlikely) that reauthorization will happen this year When it happens, likely to have impact on IPEDS

  37. S1642 • Bans federal unit record system • But calls for state pilot programs for unit record systems in up to 5 states • Calls for development of • Higher Education Price Index • U-CAN • Template for voluntary sharing of accountability info by institutions in consumer-friendly way • Net Price Calculator

  38. S1642 • Calls for enhancements to COOL website • “so that it better meets the needs of students, families, and consumers for accurate and appropriate information on institutions of higher education”

  39. HR3476 • Prohibits federal unit record system • Includes affordability reports for institutions whose tuition increases more than twice CPI over three year interval (version of College Affordability Index formerly introduced)

  40. HR3476 • Calls for redesign of COOL • New data/additions to COOL: • Instructional expenditures per FTE • Faculty-to-student ratios • Transfer rates for 2-year institutions • Net tuition price of the institution for the 3 most recent academic years; change in net tuition, sticker price, and CPI

  41. HR3476 • New data/additions to COOL -- continued: • Link to the institution’s website with information of interest to students including mission, accreditation, student services (including services for students with disabilities), transfer of credit policies and, if appropriate, placement rates and other measures of success in preparing students for entry into or advancement in the workforce

  42. XML Upload

  43. Still working with PESC… • On XML upload formats for IPEDS reporting • If ready during 2007-08 data collection we’ll release them then • Else, should have them for 2008-09 data collection
