New ASA Report, Projects Announced
- The National Education Association (NEA) published its annual Special Salary Issue 2020 of the NEA Higher Education Advocate, prepared by ASA Research prior to the coronavirus pandemic, which closed campuses across the U.S. and destabilized college enrollment and public funding. Until then, higher education’s fiscal environment appeared to be stabilizing, for the first time since the tumultuous years of and subsequent to the Great Recession in 2008. This annual report explores faculty purchasing power over time, and salaries by state, institution type, gender, academic field, unionization, rank, and other factors.
- ASA contributed to NACAC's Data Needs of Admission Professionals white paper, based on findings from a working group of admission professionals.
- ASA is excited to announce a partnership with Sova Solutions to provide research support to NASPA’s Center for First-generation Student Success. ASA is responsible for data collection and reporting on student outcomes related to institutions’ new strategies to support first-generation student success, and will conduct a formative evaluation of the implementation of the supports.
