2004 Baseline Report: Challenges and Opportunities for Nebraska
This report provides baseline data pertaining to each of the three major priorities identified by the Nebraska Legislature's Higher Education Task Force. The report was presented in December 2004 to the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education Commissioners. The priorities are:
- Increase the number of students who enter postsecondary education in Nebraska;
- Increase the proportion of students who enroll and successfully persist through degree program completion; and
- Reduce, eliminate, and then reverse the net out-migration of Nebraskans with high levels of educational attainment.
