Spring Collection
9
Enrollment

• 12-month Unduplicated Count and Instructional
  Activity (old Parts E F)
• Reported in Fall 2007 on E12
• Part G, Retention Rates
• Rather than collect only the rates for full-time
  and part-time students, collect the numerator and
  denominator and have the system calculate the
  rates
• Mandatory in 2007-08

10
Graduation Rates

• Sections V and VI, athletically related student
  aid
• Eliminate these sections from IPEDS GRS
• Institutions will no longer be required to report
  these data to IPEDS, but will still be required
  to disclose these data, per SRK
• Add item to report URL used for disclosure

11
Reporting Compliance
12
Mandatory reporting of IPEDS

• Reporting IPEDS is mandatory for all institutions
  with PPA with US Dept of ED for Title IV federal
  student financial aid
• Penalties for noncompliance include
• Fine of up to 27,500 per violation
• Institutions eligibility to participate in Title
  IV programs can be suspended

Follow-up

• Unfortunately, it takes a lot of work to make
  these low numbers happen
• We are doing a lot of follow-up, during and after
  collections
• Institutions have only one opportunity for
  special post-collection help

17
However,

• We now send email/letter thanking CEO of
  institutions that lock ALL surveys by 4 wks
  before close of each collection
• Letters refer to KH by name so CEO knows who was
  responsible for this good thing

Why collect these?

• So OPE can see how students at different
  institutions are using particular fed grant
  programs

• To address recommendations made by Sectys
  Commission on Future of Higher Ed
• financial transparency
• more information on college costs to consumers

31

32
First-professional degree classification
33
Why change?

• Due to changes in graduate education,
  first-professional category is outmoded
• Increasingly important to distinguish
  research-focused doctors degrees from
  professionally focused doctors degrees

34
First-professional

• Based on suggestions from the IPEDS TRP and
  comments from additional members of the higher
  education community
• First-professional and Doctors degree categories
  to be revised

35
(No Transcript)

90
Other IPEDS RD Projects

91
Minimum Data Set(MDS)Jan Plotczyk, NCES
92
Minimum Data Set (MDS)

• Project came to a close in March 2008 with
  internal distribution at NCES of a field test
  Working Paper

93
Project Background

• 1999 NCES Taskforce for IPEDS Redesign
  recommended that
• NCES begin to systematically collect information
  to produce reliable estimates of the number and
  characteristics of non-Title IV postsecondary
  institutions (MDS)
• MDS continue on biennial basis
• Data be made available via a web-based search
  tool
• Eventually, MDS would become a universe collection

94
Long History

• Due to interruptions delays, over 3 years
  elapsed between construction of sampling frame
  and start of data collection
• Highly fluid, volatile population
• Project could not take births into consideration
• Study findings affected
• Underestimation of of institutions, students,
  staff
• No way of knowing extent

95
Findings affected

• With bi-annual project, would have been possible
  to assess impact of births
• In the absence of that strategy, or different
  study plan, that is not possible

96
Future

• NCES does not plan to pursue MDS
• Not sufficient federal interest (e.g., federal
  program effectiveness) to justify cost and burden
• Given demands being placed by Congress, OMB, and
  others on IPEDS data collection, opportunity
  costs of investing staff and resources in
  non-Title IV data collection are simply too high

97
Finance Data Quality Study

98
Finance Data Quality Study

Human Resources (HR) Data Quality Study

• Sabrina Ratchford, NCES

102
HR Data Quality Study

• Purpose
• Compare HR data collected in IPEDS to HR data
  from several external sources
• Evaluate IPEDS HR data collected in optional
  (even-numbered) reporting years
• Reference period 2004-05

103
External HR Sources Considered
104
External HR Sources Continued
105
Data Elements Compared

• Number of full-time faculty1
• Average salaries of full-time faculty1
• Number of part-time faculty
• Full-time executive/administrative/managerial
  staff
• 1Full-time faculty data were also evaluated by
  faculty and tenure status, contract length,
  academic rank, and/or gender in some comparisons,
  but not all comparisons.

106
Next steps

• Results of study should be released in a
  Methodology Report in Spring 2008
• NCES staff evaluating how IPEDS HR study should
  look in post-NSOPF environment
• Review of IPEDS HR Component part of NPEC project
  list of 2008-09 (background paper and TRP)

107
Graduation Rate Data Quality Study
Andrew Mary, NCES
108
Graduation Rate Data Quality Study

• This is the third in a series of data quality
  studies on IPEDS data. The results of this study
  will help to ensure that the GRS is capturing the
  correct students in the cohort as defined by the
  Student Right-to-Know Act
• Work was began in October 2007

109
Graduation Rate Data Quality Study

• Compare IPEDS data to three states that have
  student unit record systems
• Compare IPEDS data to an outside source that
  collects graduation rate data
• Evaluate the effect on IPEDS graduation rates
  that result from false positives and false
  negatives
• False Positives students being counted that
  should not be counted
• False Negatives not including students that
  should be counted

110
Graduation Rate Data Quality Study

• Report will be released as a Research and
  Development paper in late-2008
• From this report, NCES will try and implement any
  necessary changes to instructions and Frequently
  Asked Questions in order to give a better
  understanding to respondents

111
Updating the Classification of Instructional
Programs (CIP)Michelle Coon, NCES
112
What is the CIP?

• The CIP is a taxonomic coding scheme of
  instructional programs
• CIP titles and program descriptions are intended
  to be generic categories into which program
  completions data can be placed
• The CIP is not intended to be a regulatory device
  
• The CIP is intended to code programs of study
  that result in a degree, certificate, license or
  certification and is not intended to code majors

113
Who Uses CIP?

• IPEDS Keyholders and Coordinators to complete
  IPEDS Completions Survey
• Statistics Canada to code responses to questions
  on their surveys about program of study
• Federal and State data users
• Institutional Researchers

114
Why update CIP?

• CIP was last updated in 2000
• Since the last update, there has been an increase
  in the number and variety of postsecondary
  education programs
• Similarly some instructional programs no longer
  exist

115
How is the CIP Organized?

• The CIP is composed of 53 two digit series
• Series can be broadly be classified as
• Academic Programs of Study
• Occupational Specific Programs of Study
• Dental, Medical, and Veterinary Residency
  Programs
• ROTC Programs
• Personal Improvement and Leisure Studies
• High School/Secondary Diplomas and Certificates

116
Anatomy of CIP

• Each two digit series consists of
• 4 digit CIP code
• Describes the instructional content for the group
  of programs
• 6 digit CIP code
• Most detailed classification in the CIP
• Represent a single instructional program
• Used by institutions to report degree completions
  and fields of study data

117
Example of a CIP Series

• Series 22. LEGAL PROFESSIONS AND STUDIES
• 22.00 Non-Professional General Legal Studies.
  Instructional content for this group of programs
  is defined in codes 22.00000-22.001
• 22.0000 Legal Studies. General. A general program
  that focuses on law and legal issues from the
  perspective of the social sciences and
  humanities.
• 22.0001 Pre-Law Studies. A program that prepares
  individuals for the professional study of law at
  the post-baccalaureate level.

118
Process for Updating the CIP

• Update includes adding CIP codes and establishing
  and illustrative examples
• Sources of new CIP Codes
• Data from IPEDS Completions Survey
• Catalog Scans of Postsecondary Institutions
• Suggestions from IPEDS Key holders and
  Coordinators, Federal and State Agencies, and TRP
  Members
• CIP will only be published electronically and
  will not be published in hardcopy

119
Whos Involved in the CIP Update?

• NCES
• Michelle Coon, CIP Administrator
• Elise Miller, IPEDS Program Director
• Tom Weko, Postsecondary Studies Division of NCES

• Non NCES Staff
• Denise Glover, Westat
• John Milam, Highered.org
