The document outlines 5 initiatives by the Board of Regents to improve college completion rates in Utah. It proposes that institutions define 15 credit hours as full-time status, encourage plateau tuition models, create graduation maps for all majors, improve developmental math programs to transition students within 3 semesters, and explore automatic associate degree awards through reverse transfer policies. The initiatives aim to incentivize timelier degree completion, provide clearer roadmaps for students, and recognize progress through stackable credentials. Institutions will report on implementation progress over 1-3 years.

This document outlines the process used by Barstow Community College to develop Institution Set Standards as required by accreditation. It discusses reviewing methodology from other colleges and adopting a "Minimum Acceptable Standard" approach based on statistical process control concepts from Total Quality Management. This establishes standards at the 95% confidence level based on the mean and standard error of the past five years of data to set targets that will be met 97.5% of the time and trigger investigation if not. Feedback was gathered from various college stakeholders before finalizing the standards.
The document summarizes and examines proposed changes to the federal student loan program by the Department of Education. The proposal aims to address the rapidly growing student loan debt by defining new eligibility requirements for educational programs to qualify for federal student aid. It would require institutions to report more data on program costs and student outcomes. Programs would need to meet debt-to-earnings ratios to remain eligible. The implications could significantly impact students, institutions, and the economy. While the goals are reasonable, concerns are raised about the proposal's simplicity and aggressive timeline. An alternative is suggested that takes a more thorough, complex approach and reduces risks to students.
This document outlines a training program plan for new finance advisors in the military division of the University of Phoenix. The training program aims to provide advisors with knowledge about military students, branches, documentation, tuition rates, finance options, VA benefits, and federal regulations. A gap analysis will be conducted to identify strengths and weaknesses compared to new required practices. The training will use questionnaires, observation, and group sessions and include both e-learning and in-person instruction. A budget is proposed that allocates funding for training from savings due to enrollment and employee cuts, leverages existing tuition benefits and technology, and estimates costs for personnel, materials, travel and more.
The document summarizes a review of North Carolina's NC REACH post-secondary education program for foster youth.

The formula aims to increase transparency, equity and community engagement in decision making through the LCAP process. While implementation has faced challenges, districts that meaningfully engaged communities have seen benefits in cultural transformation and student achievement.

assistance; has never practiced or participated in intercollegiate athletics, except that
a student may have participated in limited preseason tryouts; and is otherwise
eligible under all institutional, conference and NCAA rules. e student-athlete’s
eligibility in following seasons would be governed by the provisions of the progress-
toward-degree rule, which would be applied from the beginning of the first term the
student began participation. is exception shall not apply to the percentage-of-degree

when classes are not in session. If such vacation periods occur during any part of a
week in which classes are in session, the institution is subject to the daily and weekly
hour limitations during the portion of the week when classes are in session and must
provide the student-athletes with a day off (see Bylaw 17.1.7.4), which may be a
vacation day.

The Legislative Services Database (LSDBi) sites twelve secondary violation involving
the word Christmas.
Here are the facts from one of the violations:
During the 2011 fall semester, an assistant football coach (FB AC) sent one text
message to a prospective student-athlete (FB PSA), and an assistant women's soccer
coach (SOC AC) sent one text message to a prospective student-athlete (SOC PSA).
Specifically, the FB AC received a "Merry Christmas" text, and he replied to the text
believing it was from a current student-athlete. The FB AC subsequently discovered
that he had replied to a text from the FB PSA. In addition, when the SOC PSA arrived
at the airport for her official visit, she sent a text to the SOC AC. The SOC AC replied
before realizing her mistake.
The institution self imposed a four-week period of no contact with football PSAs for the
football staff and a two-week ban on contact to soccer PSAs.
4. Committee approves plan to assist
limited-resource and HBCU schools
Committee on Academics members seek to support
academic success
The Committee on Academics approved a plan Wednesday to continue to
assist limited-resource schools and Historically Black Colleges and Universities
in improving the academic success of their student-athletes.
Traditionally, Academic Progress Rates of teams at limited-resource schools
and HBCUs have lagged behind the rates of teams at other Division I schools,
though the rate for these schools has increased 16 points in the last four years.
Teams from those schools also are penalized more often for academic
shortcomings. These schools often have a clearly stated mission to provide
access to educational opportunities to a broad group of students, including
those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend college.
An advisory group comprised of representatives from limited-resource schools
and HBCUs studied the issue and recommended a three-part plan. The plan
includes a continuation of the existing filters, with a subtle shift in how schools
use filters that relieve them of Academic Performance Program penalties. Also,
the recommendations involve stronger requirements for schools writing and
implementing Academic Progress Rate improvement plans and a robust
educational component.
Greg Burke, athletics director at Northwestern State University and a member
of the Committee on Academics, chaired the advisory group.
“We agreed that all Division I schools must be committed to the foundational
principle of the Academic Performance Program and the academic success of
students,” Burke said. “At the same time, these schools serve a very important
role and serve an under-represented population in many cases. We tried to
balance both of those considerations with our recommendations to the
Committee on Academics.”
5. Under the new recommendations, the filters that allowed schools to escape
penalties based on various factors – including resource level, mission and
academic improvement – would be available only twice over a five-year period.
The filters had been available every year. The committee will revisit this issue at
the close of the five-year period.
Additionally, a more rigorous review of the APR improvement plans required of
every school that uses a filter will be employed. New criteria for improvement
plans will be refined by the committee, but could require:
• Schools to directly relate their improvement plans to previously identified
critical issues.
• Schools to set performance-based, outcome-specific goals for both the
long- and short-term and describe how goals will be achieved.
• Schools to develop plans with broad-based campus support, including
from the highest-ranking academic authority, faculty and technology staff.
• A school’s president or chancellor and the APR improvement plan team
to present the improvement plan in a videoconference with the NCAA
staff.
Also, follow-up reports signed by the school’s president or chancellor must
demonstrate that initiatives from the plan were implemented.
Finally, the committee approved a comprehensive educational programming
approach aimed at helping schools improve academic performance. The
educational initiatives will be refined by the committee in the spring, but may
include programming designed for individual campus administrators (e.g.,
athletics directors, head coaches, faculty athletics representatives, presidents),
and provide education and enhanced conference involvement. Additional
elements will be added over the coming months.
