Annotation:	This report identifies the best and worst performing states—the leaders and laggards— in public postsecondary education. It focuses on the performance of the institutions over which state governments have the most influence: public colleges and universities. In an effort to systematically measure the most important factors being watched by policymakers, business leaders, and concerned citizens, we graded state performance and policy in the following six areas: student access & success, efficiency and cost effectiveness, meeting labor market demand, transparency and accountability, policy environment, and innovation.
