Title:	Measuring up 2008
Source:	http://measuringup2008.highereducation.org/prin...
Date:	2008
Organization:	National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education
Short Description:	Measuring Up 2008 is part of a series of national and state-by-state report cards for higher education that was inaugurated in 2000. The key findings this year reveal that the nation and most of the 50 states are making some advances in preparing students for college and providing them with access to higher education. However, as other nations are advancing more quickly than the United States we continue to slip behind other countries in improving college opportunities for our residents.
Annotation:	Measuring Up 2008 is part of a series of national and state-by-state report cards for higher education that was inaugurated in 2000. The key findings this year reveal that the nation and most of the 50 states are making some advances in preparing students for college and providing them with access to higher education. However, as other nations are advancing more quickly than the United States we continue to slip behind other countries in improving college opportunities for our residents. In addition, large disparities in higher education performance by race/ethnicity, by income, and by state limit our nation’s ability to advance the educational attainment of our workforce and citizenry — and thereby remain competitive globally.
