New HR format
• Respondents generally favorable about new format that combined EAP, SA, S into one component
• Easier to ensure consistency across sections, but….– Did experience a couple of
editing glitches
![Page 7: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
New HR format
• Combination of an old server and the new, combined HR format had negative impact on system performance in winter
• NCES replaced collection server toward end of collection period
• Collection was extended
![Page 8: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Spring collection
• Email sent to KHs 10 days before institution close– Suggested folks not wait until
last few days to enter data– Due to high volume and ED
firewall issue

• Currently doing study comparing IPEDS Finance data with data reported by institutions to EZ Audit
• Next will compare IPEDS HR data with non-IPEDS sources
![Page 40: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

suggestions– In-depth discussion of other timely
issues– Links to other documents on the
web
![Page 43: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Influences on the Future
![Page 44: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Current status
• Current HEA extended through June 30, 2006
• Some parts of HEA Reauthorization were added to Reconciliation bill that was signed into law by President in early February – these parts didn’t affect IPEDS
• House bill: HR 609 – passed March 30• Senate bill: S1614 – rumored will be put
on Senate calendar “soon”• Then, House and Senate versions get
reconciled
![Page 45: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
House Bill
• HR609 – Will have big impact on IPEDS– Focuses on consumer information
and public accountability– Prohibits student unit record
system
![Page 46: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Consumer information
1) Provide consumers with an easy-to-use, comprehensive web-based tool for researching and comparing institutions of higher education• COOL at collegesearch.nces.ed.gov
2) Increase the transparency of college cost, price, and financial aid
3) Raise public awareness about postsec education, particularly among low-income families, non-traditional students, and first-generation college students
![Page 47: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
How to do this?
• Establish Technical Review Panel to– Determine what is needed– Determine best way to collect data
(considering burden and cost)– Determine comparability of data– Redesign COOL to
•Display new data• Include sorting function, better search
mechanism
![Page 48: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
More requirements
• Publish data on COOL--– Price of attendance and SFA (we already do this)
– Instructional expenditure per FTE student– Enrollment data (FT/PT,
resident/nonresident)– Faculty/student ratios– Faculty & staff data (FT/PT)– Graduation and transfer rates (we do this, too)
• Ability to compare institutions in COOL (we now do this)
![Page 49: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Links to institution website
• Data should include– Mission– Accreditation– Student services– Transfer of credit policies– Placement rates and other
measures of success
![Page 50: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Public accountability
• College Affordability Index (CAI)– Post on COOL, next to total
tuition and fees– Sanctions take effect June 30,
2010– Have tuition and fees risen more
over the last 3 years than the Consumer Price Index (CPI)?
![Page 51: IPEDS Update PESC 3 rd Annual Conference on Technology & Standards May 2, 2006 Washington, DC](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e625503460f94b5d977/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
College Affordability Index
