Is There Some Beef?
Mixed evidence of institutional emphasis on persistence?
Little evidence that institutions are systematically studying patterns of persistence and success on their own campuses

An Intriguing Finding
Institutions with retention rates are doing more
……….but still not much

Next Steps
Seeking funding to administer national survey to 2- and 4-year institutions every 2-3 years.
Develop benchmarking indicators for peer groups of institutions
Large sample to explore the relationship between efforts, policies, and persistence and graduation.

Why do institutions typically ignore the research about “what matters” and “what works” and instead pay for re-packaged material and advice?

Why do institutions typically ignore the research about “what matters” and “what works” and instead pay for re-packaged material and advice?
Does a desire for “risk reduction” trump demonstrated expertise?
Why are we reluctant to internally share the information we do have?
What keeps us from moving from “facts to action?”

Outsourcing Student Success

Researchers focus on esoteric topics and use quasi-indecipherable prose
Institutional leaders attend to the crisis de jour.
Governing boards uninformed about what matters to student success
Policy makers who fail to hold institutions accountable for student success
Campus cultures resistant to innovation

Some Answers
![Page 30: Toward a Comprehensive Enrollment Model Panel Don Hossler David Kalsbeek George Kuh Jim McCoy, moderator CERPP Conference: Defining Enrollment in the 21](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042603/56649e835503460f94b85006/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What must colleges and universities do to become better at organizational learning?
Do we need guidelines for something akin to a “seal of approval” to help institutions determine the legitimacy of student success vendors?
What might be the role of the USC Center for Enrollment, Research, Policy and Practice in answering these and related questions?

Some Ideas for CERPP
![Page 32: Toward a Comprehensive Enrollment Model Panel Don Hossler David Kalsbeek George Kuh Jim McCoy, moderator CERPP Conference: Defining Enrollment in the 21](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042603/56649e835503460f94b85006/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Last WordLast Word
We cannot change the lineage of our students.
Campus cultures do not change easily or willingly.
But we can counter both by using promising policies and practices more consistently throughout the institution to increase the odds that students will succeed.
Do we have the will to do so?
