The Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents were presented with metrics from the University of Nevada, Reno and Western Nevada College relating to their performance in the areas of Access, Student Success, Closing the Achievement Gap, Workforce Education, and Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The metrics were presented by UNR President Mark Johnson<\/a> and WNC President Vincent Solis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese metrics are very encouraging and show the commitment by our institutions to improve our higher education system,\u201d Chancellor Thom Reilly said. \u201cThe metrics associated with these goals serve as a litmus test for measuring change in the system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Board of Regents Chair Jason Geddes said the metrics will increase transparency and show what is working and what isn\u2019t in terms of higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese metrics show Nevadans the deep commitment our system has to graduating students,\u201d Geddes said. \u201cThe metrics are more than just numbers, they show how we are improving our public higher education system so we can produce the highly skilled workforce needed to meet the demands of Nevada\u2019s growing economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n NSHE\u2019s strategic goals guide all eight NSHE institutions in supporting the state\u2019s 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\u2019s higher education outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1088,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[39,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1382","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-39","category-press-release"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1382"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
