Other Federal surveys?
National Community College
Benchmarking Project
• All community colleges should participate in the
data collection this year.
• SUNY IR supports campuses by providing data
that we collect centrally.
• Campuses need to register, but SUNY pays!
• Campuses can use the peer benchmarking
capabilities now – www.nccbp.org.
• All CCs in New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Arizona, and Florida participate. Working on
California.
SDF Submission
• Start planning now for your fall submission.
• Preliminary survey due mid September (won’t
know date until July BOT meeting).
• Areas of concern:
–
–
–
–
–
Reporting Student IDs, new edits this fall
Capture HS information
Identify Remedial and Distance Learning Courses
Identify EOP students
Community college need to capture student goals
ADF Submission
• You should be starting work on this
submission.
• Due end of September
• Student ID problem
– 8% of baccalaureate degrees could not be
associated with a first semester of
attendance!
Teacher Educaiton
• 16 campuses participating in FIPSE grant
to improve teacher ed assessment.
• Central IR creating a NYSTCE database to
assist campuses in analyzing test scores.
• Graduating/alumni survey planned next
year – four year cycle.
• IR coordinating with SED to make
employment/certification data available.
NYS Higher Education Plan 2004-2012
• Regents’ Statewide Master Plan covers
SUNY, CUNY, private & proprietary
• Greater emphasis on outcomes &
performance than previous plans

Mission Review II
•
Mission Review II continues: 26 campus visits will be completed by June 30
(20 SO & 6 CCs). All campus visits should be completed by end of 2005.
•
At SA, mission review teams meet to review campus responses, identify issues
for further discussion, develop dialogue points for campus visits.
•
Included in discussion are the identification of additional questions relating to
SUNY’s Strategic Plan (e.g., enrollment in high-need disciplines/workforce
needs, tracking alumni, condition of facilities, etc.).
•
Drafting campus MOUs begins after the campus visit (this is an iterative
process involving SA and campus leadership).
•
IR will continue to provide analytic support – incorporating data from SUNY,
IPEDs, College Board, and other sources to assist MR teams.
•
Thank you for your continuing work - many of you have gone above and
beyond the call in helping your campus respond to the guidance document and
subsequent dialogue points.

Integrated Postsecondary Education
Data System (IPEDS)
• Participation condition of Title IV eligibility
• Identification of 2005-06 keyholders begins
July 27, 2005.
• What’s new?
– “New” transfer students identified this year (future
GRS cohort?)
– May eliminate “first-professional” and replace with
“research/applied”
– Difference between employee surveys eliminated EAP rules.
– Peer Analysis System improving!
Institution Review Boards (IRB)
• Do you need one?
• If you have federal sponsored research, yes.
Otherwise, no. NYS law does not require it.
• If your campus has an IRB, surveys involving
human subjects should be approved when the
respondent is identified (even if only for tracking).
• Do not survey minors without IRB approval and
permission of the parent/guardian.
• In all cases, use informed consent.
New IR Data Systems
• Response to campus comments sent to
presidents in March (see handout).
• Currently incorporating campus feedback
and revising revised plan.
• SA continues to gather input from
campuses as system is develops.
• Implementation plan being reviewed by
new administration - schedule to be
decided based on final approval.
• Project will not conflict with IPEDS UR.

Course Completions
Degrees
New IR Data Systems - Process
• Course & Term/Section files - first
priority.
• Anticipated Course & Term/Section pilot
in Fall 2006
• 10 pilot campuses will be invited to
participate both Banner & non-Banner
• SA will continue to use AIRPO for
feedback from the IR community
New IR Data Systems - Process
• Continue current SDF and ADF
submissions (with targeted
enhancements) until IPEDS UR strategy
is clear.
• This strategy allows us to associate
SDF/ADF records with new course and
term/section data – a big value-added.
New IR Data System - Benefits
• Better technology/data architecture
• Facilitates record integration (within IR and
outside IR)
• Supports data warehousing
• Resolves student tracking issue
• Addresses many data shortfalls, e.g., allows
double majors
• Greater flexibility, e.g. accommodates
variable course scheduling patterns
New IR System - Benefits
Analytical Value Added:
– Associate curriculum w/ academic programs
– Create infrastructure for advanced transfer
articulation at the course level
– Calculate academic program cost for participating
institutions
– Better understanding of graduate programs
– Better understanding of retention/graduation
– Better reporting of successful educational
outcomes
