Good Policy, Good Practice: Improving Outcomes and Reducing Costs in Higher Education (A Guide for Policymakers)

From the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education and The National Center for Higher Education Management Systems: "Together, Parts I and II of this document present the solid base of experience available to policy leaders as they seek to raise the higher education attainment of state residents, even in the face of fiscal constraints. There is more experience and knowledge about improving educational outcomes and policy strategies than is often recognized. We urge policymakers to draw upon and improve these examples when they, as we believe they must, engage in development of state policies and strategies aimed at enhancing student opportunity and success while keeping college affordable for students and states. Good Policy, Good Practice demonstrates that states have tools–policy strategies and levers–to assure a viable economic and educational future for their citizens."
