| Summary: | This report is a product of the implementation of a quality indicator system for Colorado's public higher education system. In 1999, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education established a core set of nine indicators, for which data were gathered and benchmarks were identified for measuring performance in terms of these benchmarks. The first portion of this report describes these nine indicators, presents institutional data, and provides benchmarks where applicable. The nine indicators include: (1) graduation rates and credits for degree; (2) faculty instructional productivity; (3) freshmen persistence; (4) achievement rates; (5) lower division class size; (6) approved and implemented diversity plan; (7) institutional support costs; and (8-9) and institutional-specific indicators. For example, Colorado State University's eighth indicator was percentage increase in federally funded research awards, and the ninth was rating of professional veterinary medicine program. Data for each of the nine core indicators constitute a baseline against which annual improvement or maintenance of achievements can be measured. In addition, where applicable, national or statewide benchmarks are used to measure achievement compared to institutions with similar characteristics. The second portion of the report describes a more extensive and comprehensive set of indicators for the eight statewide goals and twenty-three required institutional actions outlined in SB 99-229.
