| TX | Adopted 11/2009 | Postsec. | Texas Educ. Code § 61.086 directs the higher education coordinating board to develop and annually update a uniform strategy to identify, attract, retain and enroll students that reflect the population of this state, and for institutions of higher education to implement the uniform strategy and report annually on the manner in which the strategy has been implemented.
New rule implements the Uniform Recruitment and Retention Strategy for Texas public institutions of higher education. Requires the board to evaluate the effectiveness of the Uniform Recruitment and Retention Strategy plans on a statewide basis and with respect to each institution based on how the plan will address the state's master plan for higher education, Closing the Gaps by 2015 (http://www.thecb.state.tx.us/index.cfm?objectid=858D2E7C-F5C8-97E9-0CDEB3037C1C2CA3). Requires the board to incorporate the Uniform Recruitment and Retention Strategy into:
(1) Standards for new Baccalaureate and Master's Degree Programs
(2) The review of low-producing degree programs
(3) The approval process for doctoral and health-related degree programs
(4) The evaluation methodology for Tuition Revenue Bond Projects
(5) The review and evaluation of request for proposals and request for applications from institutions of higher education.
Requires annual institution reports to the coordinating board on participation in higher education to include:
(1) Student performance/success data
(2) Student participation data
(3) Information relating to the costs of the program and funding source, and number of students served
(4) The academic progress made by students as well as other outcomes related to Closing the Gaps by 2015.
Directs institutions to collect data and evaluate success based on the following elements and connect them to the accelerated targets for Closing the Gaps by 2015: (A) Partnership with high-need, low-college going rate public schools; (B) Pre-college academic outreach; (C) Application assistance; (D) Financial aid assistance; (E) Academic support programs; (F) Tutoring/mentoring programs; (G) Academic advising; and
(H) Early Alert Systems that include academic support for at-risk students.
Provides that the coordinating board reserves the right to audit any program reported as a part of the Uniform Recruitment and Retention Strategy. Defines "noncompliance" with any Closing the Gaps by 2015 reporting requirements, including the Uniform Recruitment and Retention Strategy. Directs the coordinating board to withhold program approvals, all coordinating board grant funding, and up to 22 points in the Tuition Revenue Bond approval process for any noncompliant institution.
