Some Links

First, the original link to the WKU data on evaluation of administrators is not working. Let me give you a new version that should work: http://www.wku.edu/senate/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2009FacWellSurveySummary.html
(Thanks to Robert Royar in my department for sorting this out.)

Second, I attended the Governor's Conference on Postsecondary Education Trusteeship last week. At the conference, Kati Haycock, who works for the Education Trust, gave a talk full of eye-opening statistics about higher education in the U.S. and in Kentucky. Her presentation can be found here: http://www.cpe.ky.gov/NR/rdonlyres/667E5311-F5B2-4203-B003-4FE9FF298516/0/Haycockpresentation.pdf

Basically, we have made some important strides in access to higher education, but our graduation rates for lower-income students and for minority students is rather poor. There is a ton of information here that might be useful.
