Success in California
Higher Education –

The Case Again for
Whopping Big
Change
With or Without
Disruption
Why Whopping Big Change Is
Required
Total Quality Management – Continuous
Improvement
Booz-Allen: Stable State Management System
Not a crisis management strategy
Your challenge
50 percent productivity gain almost
immediately
Productivity gain = Quality improvement
The Case for Change
AASCU’s TOP ISSUES Revised
The Fiscal Crisis: State Support, Tuition Policy
& Prices, Student Aid
Student Access & Success: Enrollment
Capacity, Veterans Education, the Graduation
Initiative
Educational Improvement: College Readiness,
Focus on Community Colleges, & Teacher
Effectiveness
Accountability: Data Systems and Reporting
Metrics.

The White Caps on the First Wave
We’ve Been A Leader
But Slip-Sliding Away
Losing Ground:
The West, and California in particular, are the U.S.
Problem
Falling Internationally
The Unique CCCCIO Challenges/Opportunities:
Making Wave One, Wave Won
With Respect to College Entry
Not so bad – clear state Mission
Placement has not been synchronized
But underway
Think Common Core
Low hanging fruit – Adults With Some College
But No Degree
4.4 Million – 22.7% of Adults in California
Ramp up Production of High Value Certificates
The Unique CCCCIO Challenges/ Opportunities:
Making Wave One, Wave Won
With Respect to Progression Through
College
Need higher thru put: More Transfer and
Terminal Associate Degrees
The Good News (or so it seems): Transfer and
Articulation progressing
Consider more aggressive remunerated coop
work study programs
Focus on being adult friendly – use CAEL’s
ALFI assessment.
Eliminate time as the enemy
Less is more – a default curriculum
Guaranteed curriculum if full-time/on-time
The Unique CCCCIO Challenges/ Opportunities:
Making Wave One, Wave Won
With Respect to Completion
Same/same as progression
Plus:
Accept legitimate Prior Learning Assessment (PLA)
Better Yet: Encourages PLA
Do Degree Audits & Grant Degrees Where
Appropriate (Win/Win Project)
Intentionally partner with non-public institutions
(Yup; I mean private for and not for profit places)
Triage almost demands this

The White Caps on the Second Wave
Those with whom we have succeeded are
declining
Those with whom we have not succeeded
are increasing
“Average” won’t sustain us, and may not
even be achievable
The Unique CCCCIO Opportunities/
Challenges: Wave Two, Too, Being Won
With respect to College Entry
Much the same as with Wave Won
Improve Placement – build on Common
Core
Think “Adults with some college, no degree”
Market research & intention works here
Think high-value certificates
Even post-bachelaureate – i.e. Red Rocks
PA program
Demand evidence as basis for chage, but
Be willing to adapt rapidly – tradition is
your enemy here
The Unique CCCCIO Opportunities/
Challenges: Wave Two, Too, Being Won
With respect to Progression
REINVENT REMEDIATION
Problem is not what we call it; it’s how we
do it
Approaches to consider
Technology blended (National Center for
Academic Transformation)
Replace prerequisites with co-requisites
Modularized self-paced instruction
Nix Learning Communities for this purpose
Know thyself – get the evidence
By: race/ethnicity, major, gateway courses, etc.
The Unique CCCCIO Opportunities/
Challenges: Wave Two, Too, Being Won
With respect to Progression
Many of the same as with Wave Won
Improve transfer/articulation (under way)
Coop work study
Adult friendly
Garner greater student commitment through
incentives – incentivize full-time, continuity
(again, time is everyone’s enemy)
Develop Cohort approach
(and backup cohort)
Streamline curriculum – less is more
Default curriculum
STEM specific curriculum
The Unique CCCCIO Opportunities/
Challenges: Wave Two, Too, Being Won
With respect to Completion
Same As Wave Won
Encourage PLA
Degree Audits
Partner with non-public sector institutions
Reward Steps Along The Way – Momentum
Points.
Mine your data
To prevent dropouts
To re-attract recent dropouts
The Converging Waves
Wave One: Our Economic Competitiveness
Wave Two: Who We Are – Can We Be
Competitive
Wave Three: What We Have in Resources

The White Caps on the Third Wave
Prospects look bleak for much more in the
short term
New Normal suggests a very different
future than past.
Triage often sacrifices the most vulnerable
The Unique CCCCIO Challenges/Opportunities:
Wave Three – Show me the money
With respect to Entry into College
Tuition revenue, done smartly, is most of the
answer
Balanced by financial aid is key
With respect to Progression through
College
Tuition and financial aid remain key
Revise the rewards to focus on student success
Pay only for successful remediation – regardless of
modality used
Pay only for completed courses -- tough love
The Unique CCCCIO Challenges/Opportunities:
Wave Three – Show me the money
With respect to Completion
Know thyself – focus on gaps, not successes
 Clearly articulated pathways reduce student
and state costs
 Don’t enroll students in course that don’t
articulate to their degree goals
 Price by priority

Currently in place for resident/non-resident
Why not for core vs luxury/high vs low-value

Streamline programs – dropping the duds
Where academic success is too low to justify
Where ROI is too low to justify

Outsourcing or Pairing
The California story – Three Huge Converging
Waves -- The Makings of A Perfect Storm
Demographics present a challenge, all else being equal
The finances are perilous
We have been educationally competitive, which has
made us economically competitive and comparative
just, but:
Were slipping
And the good life has not been equitably distribute
Creating a New Business Model –
What I Hear & See
Who Will Lead – Academic Leaders or
Other Leaders?
From the Community College “Community”
ACCT: Governance Institute for Student Success.
Foundations:
Achieving the Dream – top down through data driven
reform, and limited success to date
Completion by Design – still in design
____________ -- meet the goal
Creating a New Business Model –
What I Hear & See
TRIAGE happens, whether intentional or not.
Lack of course availability
Low success rates
In remedial/developmental
In college level coursework
Particularly in STEM field
And indefensibly biased by race/ethnicity
Justifiable within current business model
Can’t afford more courses
Can’t support resources necessary for course success
But unjustifiable in support of Mission
So must create a new business model
Is that possible?
Disruptive technologies theory says no
We can’t live with that
Creating a New Business Model –
Dave’s Nine Tenets of A New Way
Evidence based – data driven
Improvement imperative – Whopping big
in the short term, continuous improvement, on benchmarks achieved.
Well, nearly continuous improvement.
Recognize periodic perturbations.
Take reasonable risk & expect some
failure.
Creating a New Business Model –
Tenets of A New Way
Eliminate what can’t be done well enough.
Be genius – borrow generously.
Follow the CASE study approach
Reward success and champions of success
(make performance count for regular folk).
Make this work fun
We work live, not live to work.
Don’t have too many tenets
That’s all there is
Enough Already
