  6. HEI background and development • Legacy system designed/built in 1960s, useless by 1990s • Reengineered every variable, field, file, submission and acquisition process, and architecture • Designed and built with campus skepticism/opposition, then support • Campuses now have a data warehouse available to them 24/7/365

  7. Promoting partnerships and research Designed for use by academic researchers FERPA was a major hurdle, initially Agency capacity to help always an issue and limitation Collaborate with Dr. Bettinger, Long, Hawley and other academic researchers

  8. One recent contribution…

  9. Remedial education, data, and policy: HEI documented… • Prevalence of need (38% HC per year) • Persistence of need (no improvement over time) • Location of service (mostly community college) • Cost of remediation • State direct costs = ~$60 million per year • Student costs (financial, time, and otherwise) • Effects on retention and degree attainment

  10. OhioCore: Legislative response Strengthen academic requirements to obtain a high school degree Restrict enrollment to most universities to students who have completed the OhioCore curriculum Non-completers  Two-year campuses State funding for remediation limited for most universities
