  1. Institution Research Update John Porter AIRPO June 20, 2006

  2. End of Term SDFs • Objective: Capture unit records on all funded FTE • Change resulted in unforeseen issues with campuses that have late starting courses. • Despite the problems, if I to do it again, I’d would. One change would be to require two SDFs in spring semester as in the Fall. • Submitting two Spring SDFs would still be optional as it is in the Fall.

  3. Special Study • Explored influence of funding on campus graduation outcomes • Our model calculated a “normalized” funding per undergraduate FTE, which turned out positive in the model • Other variables in model: SATs, demographics (gender), and % full-time • Finding: Finances do explain differences in graduation rates, particularly 4-year rates

  4. Special Study (Continued) • Continuing analysis of the data using a methodology called “Frontier Analysis” • Analysis focuses on identifying institutions that are more “efficient” in producing graduates given available resources • Graduate student is assembling IPEDS data from several years to run the model over a period of years

  5. SOS • Administration of SOS complete with a few interesting twists: • Two campuses requested to administer the SOS in fall • ACT sent one campus their version of the SOS, which was not caught until after administration. This campus will also administer SUNY’s version of the SOS in fall • Several campuses reported that students found the SOS too long • Several campuses reported problems with student pen and ink markings • In-class administration recommended, mail OK, but two campuses wanted to administer survey on line. The results were amazing! • ACT is waiting for a few campuses to send them surveys. • Campuses will receive the reports and data in August • Reports will contain sector benchmarks • ACT will also provide campuses an SPSS program

  6. Statistical Abstract • Objective: Create standard enrollment report formats • Summarizes basic enrollment characteristics before the current IR system is retired • 13 tables in enrollment series (Excel) • Each table has ten years of data • Tab for each campus and sector • Retention series focuses on ethnicity & gender (Access) • Associate program retention into second year • Baccalaureate program retention into second, third and fourth years

  7. Teacher Education Alumni Survey • 11 campuses participating in alumni survey • Administering EBI graduating survey to students graduating in 2005-06 and 2006-07 (paper) • EBI administers an alumni survey to same population two years post graduation (web) • EBI administers employer survey to same population to graduates responding to the alumni survey (web)

  8. Teacher Certification Examination Database (TCED) • 15 SUNY campuses with teacher education programs • Access DB that combines certification test scores with SUNY data • 1999 through 2005 • Supports academic program assessment and accreditation • Non-disclosure agreement

  9. NSSE/CCSSE • Recommended to meet some requirements of “Strengthened Campus-based Assessment” • Scheduled administration in Spring 2007 • ?

  10. SED Changes • Considering unit record data collection to support VTEA reporting (gender splits next year) • NYSED 2H-1 Personnel Development for Special Education • Start thinking about NPSAS 2008 (field test planned for Spring 2007)
