Today, vigorous (and well-funded) research, experimentation and policy development are being undertaken in government, association and foundation circles. Most of it is aimed at goals like ensuring that the higher education curriculum better meets projections of career and economic needs; increasing graduation and curbing dropouts; defining institutional and cross-institutional outcomes for higher education, both generically and in particular disciplines; re-making student assessment to reflect these goals; and then re-making institutional accountability requirements to reflect the outputs flowing from these changes. We highlight some of these student success initiatives in this section.
