4) Other/Next Meeting Agenda Items: Discussion:
The PRC is seeing a large percentage of students (averages of about 69%) without placement data. It is
established that about 80% of new matriculating students are tested. Angelina in IR, feels the difference
in numbers has to do with transfer students. Our data tracks students new to college; we have been
unable, to date, to figure how to track transfers students, but will look into it. A “gray” area has been
identified, where we use multiple measures.
Discussion whether the PRC as a committee should let all planning committees know that there are some
issues with the data: here are the limitations and how can we solve it?
Site budgetary needs are not always clear. We need a vehicle to include site budgets discussed in the
program review.
