STUDENT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
FEBRUARY 5, 2010
What is Reaching Higher?
• Indiana Commission for Higher Education
Strategic Plan, outlining specific initiatives and
recommendations for action in six key areas
– College Completion
– Affordability
– Preparation
– Community College
– Major Research Universities
– Accountability
“To thrive as a state and as individuals, all Hoosiers will need to achieve a
depth and breadth of education never seen in the state’s history.”

Why Should Indiana Care?
•
As a nation, the US is 10th among industrialized nations in college completion rates, down from
first place.
•
Indiana currently ranks 32nd in the nation in the average personal income of its residents—this
is a 35-year low against the national average.
•
Over the past year, employment declined by at least 5% in all regions of the state.
•
Indiana currently ranks 42nd in the nation in the proportion of adults with a postsecondary
credential.
•
Indiana’s economy depends highly on manufacturing, an industry that is changing rapidly.
While Indiana remains the top manufacturing state in the nation, the state has lost hundreds of
thousands of manufacturing jobs in the last decade—since 2000, manufacturing jobs have
declined 35%.
•
Indiana tax revenues declined by approximately 4.8% in FY2009. From July to December 2009,
revenue collections were down $723M, or 11.4%, from the same six month period for the
previous year.
•
Indiana continues to experience skill shortages in critical occupations.
•
Increasing national and international competition requires high levels of knowledge and
creative thinking, educated risk-taking and entrepreneurial spirit. 75% of the highest-growth,
highest-pay jobs over the next decade will require some form of postsecondary credential.
•
Quality of life of the state’s communities are tied directly to the strength of education.

Why Should YOU Care?
College Completion
• From 1986 to 2006, Indiana’s high school-to-college-going rate nearly doubled, from 33% to over 63%.
But our completion rates have not kept pace. Only 1/3 of our students graduate on time, and nearly
50% don’t graduate at all, and only about 10% of community college students graduate within three
years.
• College graduates can expect to earn over $1M over and above what a high school graduate will earn in
a lifetime.
• The career options you will have as a college graduate will be far more stable and lucrative than those
available to Hoosiers without college credentials.
Affordability
• More than half of Indiana’s students exit college with student loan debt. Students who don’t graduate
are 10 times more likely to default on their loans.
• Indiana ranks 15th in the nation in student indebtedness at graduation, with average debt of $23,264—
62% of the state’s graduates have debt.
• College costs are outpacing inflation, and are especially outpacing growth in personal income and
wages.
Preparation
• About ¼ of your classmates needed remediation when they entered college, ranging up to 65% of the
entering class at the community college.
Accountability
• As taxpayers, you support Indiana’s public system of higher education to the tune of $1.2B each year.
Between your tuition and fees and the state’s investment, it costs nearly $80,000 a year to produce a
degree.
• Increasing competition from graduates from other countries—colleges and universities need to ensure
that academic quality remains high despite increasing financial pressures.

Attaining a college degree has a profound impact on socioeconomic mobility in the United States. Indiana institutions must work to
control student costs, and the state must continue to increase its commitment to need-based financial aid.

Indiana’s 21st Century Scholars represent the state’s at-risk student
population. The program has proven very effective as a high school
dropout prevention and college-entry strategy, but Scholars are still
less likely than the general college population to graduate.

AFFORDABILITY – AT-RISK STUDENT ENROLLMENT AND COMPLETION
Indiana will improve 21st Century Scholar success at key
transition points by 2015.

Affordability Strategies
• Increasing public knowledge of available financial
aid.
• Expand the 21st Century Scholar program – now
available to students throughout middle school.
• Encouraging institutions to provide wrap-around
support for Scholars and other low-income
students.
• Ensuring predictability and transparency in
setting tuition and fee rates
– Rates must be set for two years
– CHE’s “tuition targets”

Students who need developmental coursework are much less likely to graduate than students who are prepared for college-level
work. In addition, students spend time and money on remedial coursework, but earn no credit toward a degree.

Indiana is home to premier public “very high-activity” research universities, Indiana University and Purdue University, that meet
the needs of Indiana’s high-tech and high-skill economy, and which serve as major economic engines for the state. Strong research
universities are magnets for talented, high-performing students, faculty and knowledge workers.
