UNLV, CSN Present Institutional Metrics to Attain Strategic Goals
The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Board of Regents were presented with metrics from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the College of Southern Nevada relating to their performance in the areas of Access, Student Success, Closing the Achievement Gap, Workforce Education, and Research.
The metrics were presented by UNLV President Marta Meana and CSN President Federico Zaragoza.
Board of Regents Chair Jason Geddes said the metrics will increase transparency how Nevada’s public higher education institutions are performing.
“The Board of Regents are committed to improving our state’s higher education system and these metrics will show what is working and is not working at our institutions, Geddes said. “I am encouraged by the commitment by our institutions to improve our institutions in terms of student access and success.”
Chancellor Thom Reilly added, “The metrics associated with these goals serve as a litmus test for measuring change in the system. And these 2025 goals will allow us to show our growth and improvement to Nevada.”
NSHE’s strategic goals guide all eight NSHE institutions in supporting the state’s growing economy with an increasing demand for an educated workforce. By establishing a set of five strategic goals, along with a set of metrics and progress benchmarks, aimed at increasing access, improving student success, closing the achievement gap, addressing workforce needs and solution-focused research the Board of Regents are aiming to move the needle on Nevada’s higher education outcomes.
