In November, WICHE’s Policy unit released two of its regularly updated data resources: Tuition and Fees in Public Higher Education in the West and Benchmarks. The redesigned, streamlined Tuition and Fees features the addition of enrollment-weighted averages for states and institutional types, as well as a wealth of other data, now available online in Excel. Benchmarks presents information on the West’s progress in improving access to, success in, and financing of higher education.

As part of WICHE’s partnership with the Center for Urban Education at the University of Southern California, Policy staff also prepared the first analyses of student progression and graduation, using data from Nevada’s student information system. The analyses look at differences by race/ethnicity in the achievement of milestones on the path to postsecondary success (completion of remediation, 15 credits, 30 credits, postsecondary credential, etc.).
