As reported here previously, the Coordinating Board has published the Texas Higher Education Almanac, available here from the Board's Web site. Of particular interest is comparative data for all colleges and universities in Texas. By navigating through the site, users can find a host of interesting information.
Community and technical college educators are urged to scrutinize the information displayed on the site for their schools. The data is provided by each institution to the Coordinating Board, but reports persist that some statistics are incomplete or incorrect.
This could prove especially important in the future as the state moves in the direction of "outcomes-based" funding. Not to mention the fact that you don't want misconceptions to arise on the part of students, taxpayers, and parents.
Those who detect information that could be erroneous should report any problems to administrative leaders at their school. There are other issues associated with data collection and presentation, but the first step should be to make sure the current information is correct.
