Although a number of academic research papers showcase the benefits of Open Educational Resources (OER) on student success metrics, the literature still lacks a central collection of knowledge identifying programmatic characteristics between 4 year public, 4 year private, and 2 year community colleges that support these OER initiatives in the United States.

The Great Student Swap, Aaron Klein
The Great Student Swap, Aaron Klein
Policy Briefs and Reports
For the last twenty years, nearly every flagship university in the U.S. has been decreasing its share of in-state students and enrolling more students from out of state, a phenomenon I call the “Great Student Swap.” Using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), I examine every “flagship” public university by comparing incoming first year students from 2002 through 2018 (those who would have graduated in the spring 2022 assuming the traditional four-year timeframe for completion).

Funding The Future We Want: Leveraging University Funding To Support Black And Indigenous Communities, Amanda Wittman, Amber Haywood
Experiential Learning & Teaching in Higher Education
Funding is critical. It is a literal demonstration of values and commitment. This case study provides a timely discussion about the role of university-based funding to address or ignore issues of equality. We provide insight into the question of how communities of color are affected by funding without a focus on anti-racism, and explore ways to change grant making processes to make them more equitable.
