Higher Education in Colorado: Our challenge
University of Colorado Excellence in
Leadership Program – September 12, 2014
Framework for our discussion
• Agenda
o Leadership Concepts
• Context and Curiosity
• The Choice to Exercise Leadership
o Colorado’s Higher Ed Challenge
o Discussion
Colorado’s higher ed challenge Experts project that by 2020, 74 percent of jobs in Colorado will require
postsecondary education or training.
Yet out of 100 ninth-graders in Colorado today, only 50 go to college and only 22 earn a degree.
The gap for minorities is far worse. By 2015, Hispanic students are expected to make up more than a quarter of our public high school graduates. Yet, among all ethnic groups, Hispanics are least likely to have a college credential (18 percent of Hispanic adults vs. 53 percent of white adults).
Colorado Paradox – how do we solve it?
Degree attainment gap
Access without support is not opportunity -Dr. Vincent Tinto
Future growth in college enrollment
CCHE Master Plan: By 2025, 66% of the State’s citizens will hold a degree or credential (annual increase of 1,000 degrees and certificates)
Goal 1: Increasing Attainment: Increase the attainment of high-quality postsecondary credentials across the academic disciplines and throughout Colorado by at least 1,000 new degrees and certificates each year to meet anticipated workforce demands by 2025.
Goal 2: Improving Student Success: Improve student success through better outcomes in basic skills education, enhanced student support services and reduced average time to credential for all students.
Goal 3: Reducing Gaps: Enhance access to, and through, postsecondary education to ensure that the system reflects the changing demographics of the state while reducing attainment gaps among students from underserved communities.
Goal 4: Restoring Fiscal Balance: Develop resources, through increases in state funding, that will allow public institutions of higher education to meet projected enrollment demands while promoting affordability, accessibility and efficiency.

We are not alone
National efforts to change the conversation:
• How do we create a new compact between the State and Public Higher Education?
• How do we develop trust?
• What are we doing that diminishes trust?
• How do we use each opportunity given to us to re-establish the public good of higher education and more deeply develop trust with policy makers, students, and the public?
• What could you do differently?
• What could your campus do differently?
Discussion: Colorado’s higher education challenge
• What could the state do differently?
