Holding Colleges and Universities Accountable for Meeting State Needs

By Alicia A. Diaz, Joan Lord and Joseph L. Marks

SREB's Challenge to Lead goals call for states to hold colleges and universities accountable for meeting state needs. This report, a part of the Challenge to Lead education goals series, looks at states' annual reports for higher education accountability and recommends that states develop public agendas for higher education. It also describes states' progress on key indicators: higher education graduation rates, faculty salaries, and science and research funding. SREB states have improved, but work remains to be done.

Goal that it reflects:  The quality of colleges and universities is regularly assessed and funding is targeted to quality, efficiency and state needs.
