Reduce the disparity rate to zero, ideally. Challenges: Small sample size, regression to the mean, changes in classification, difficult to understand…etc. Six-Year Graduation Disparity* % difference between white and diverse populations 20 0 18 18 16.5 16 14 2.75 Rowan 4.5 Cal Poly Coll of Charleston 12 10 8.75 8 6 4 0 2004 2005 2006 UNCW performance 2007 2008 Murray 10.25 Sonoma 10.25 U of N Iowa 10.75 Coll of NJ 30 35 8 8.75 U of Wis Eau Claire 25 7.25 UNCW Humboldt 20 6.25 8.25 Truman 2 15 West Wash JMU 3.75 10 UT Dallas Towson 14 5 11.75 14.75 18.5 23.5 30 UNCW compared to peers (2008) Six-Year Graduation Rate Trend Line w/ Six-Year Average by Ethnicity 90% 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 80% 70% 66% 60% 54% 55% 50% 53% 59% 40% 30% 20% 2009 was the highest rate for all sub groups with the exception of Black and Asian (2006 & 2007 respectively). 10% 0% White Asian Black Hispanic AI Benchmark Peer Comparison Black/Non-Hispanic: 2007-2009 0% JMU Towson Coll of NJ Truman UNCW Coll of Charleston Cal Poly W Washington UT-Dallas U of Wis-Eau Claire Rowan Sonoma U of N Iowa Murray State Humboldt 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 72% 70% 63% 57% 57% 56% 55% 55% 55% 49% 46% 40% 37% 34% 28% Benchmark Peer Comparison Hispanic: 2007-2009 0% Coll of NJ JMU Towson Truman UNCW W Washington Cal Poly UT-Dallas Coll of Charleston Sonoma Rowan U of N Iowa U of Wis-Eau Claire Murray Humboldt 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 77% 76% 65% 64% 63% 61% 58% 52% 51% 46% 46% 46% 40% 39% 38% 90% Progress Measure 3 (Part 2) …Increase the proportion of student enrollments from historically underrepresented groups to achieve a critical mass necessary to enrich the education of all UNCW students. Calculating Underrepresented Enrollments 101 • Take out unknown denominator to get adjusted number • Leave in IBEC (conversation w/ GA- reported to IPEDS) • Report each group and MR separate • When calculate total minority add each in minority group (not MR and not INT) divide by adjusted number • If determined appropriate, MR can be added How the calculation breaks out: Resident and Extension students --Fall 2010 • Total Population 13071 • Adjusted population: 12754 (13071 – 317) • African American: 572/12754 = 4.5% • Hispanic: 587/12754 = 4.6% • American Indian: 81/12754 = 0.6% • Multi-Racial 241/12754 = 1.9% • Asian 235/12754 = 1.8% • Pacific Islander 15/12754 = 0.1% • White 10919/12754 = 85.6% • International (not a race) 104 • Total Minority: 572+587+81+235+15 = 1490/12754 = 11.7% Increase the proportion of student enrollments from historically underrepresented groups. *starting in 2010 minority includes multi-racial. 14% 12% 10.8% 10% 9.6% 11.1% 0% 13.6% 10% 20% UT-Dallas 11.1% 10.1% 23.8% Humboldt 21.4% Coll.

Consider Retention • Before the class of 2009, the 2003 cohort had the highest 2nd year retention rate. • 2003 cohort had 123 fewer students than 2004 cohort. • Large increase in out of state freshmen for 2004, give or take 6.5 percentage points higher than previous cohort. – The increase in SAT was due in part to the out-of-state influx but these students tend to drop out at a higher rate than students who attend closer to home. Rule of thumb is 90 miles, farther than 90, more likely to show attrition. Break UPDATE ON PROGRESSION AND SUCCESS RATES Progression Rates • Crafted from the College Portrait through the Voluntary System of Accountability. • track migration patterns of former students through the National Student Clearing House. • Intent is to provide evidence of success in student achievement to parents, students and stakeholders.

Increase the study abroad participation rate to 20% of undergraduates completing UNCW degrees by 2010, and to 25% by 2015. How do we ‘count’ international students? • Open Doors method – Much more inclusive than IPEDS – Challenge, does not meet federal reporting requirements nor does it match General Administration reporting – Useful for study abroad as there is no fed reporting requirement • IPEDS method this year – Can compare peer institutions by official means – Figures are different than what Open Doors would note By fall 2010, increase the international student population to 3% of the total student population. 0% 3.2% 3.00% 5% 3.0% UT-Dallas 2.8% Truman 5% 2.6% Murray 5% 2.4% Towson 2.2% U of N Iowa 2.0% Rowan 1.8% 3% 2% 1.4% U of Wis -Eau Claire 1% 1.2% UNCW 1% Coll of NJ 1% Sonoma 1% JMU 1% Humboldt 1% Coll of Charleston 1% Cal Poly 1% 0.84% 0.80% 0.8% 0.6% 0.64% 0.48% 0.56% 0.4% 0.2% 0.0% Fall 2006 Fall 2007 Fall 2008 Fall 2009 Fall 2010 Fall 2010 Goal UNCW performance 20% 4% 1% 1.0% 15% 15% W Washington 1.6% 10% UNCW compared to peers (fall 2009) Increase the study abroad participation rate to 20%. 700 590 600 500 532 526 2007 2008 468 400 314 300 257 200 162 100 0 2003 2004 2005 2006 2009 UNCW performance (headcount) Study Abroad/Enrollment Progress Measure 10 By FY 2013, increase the alumni giving rate to 15% and raise the average alumni gift amount to the top quintile among our peers.
