Most States' College-Accountability Systems Are Found Wanting
States are under increasing pressure to improve their higher-education systems to prepare residents for the work force and to attract jobs, but only 10 states are collecting enough information to do so, according to a report released today by Education Sector, an independent think tank.
The survey grades the states in 21 categories related to the data they collect and how they use the information to hold colleges accountable. It does not assess the actual performance of the states’ higher-education systems.
The report, “Ready to Assemble,” follows up on Education Sector’s 2008 guidelines for creating model accountability systems. —Eric Kelderman
