[CBW_Exec] Fwd: response to "UC Admissions Changes Align withState Strategic Higher Education Plan."

[Adams, Peter]

I didn't know about the CAEL site, Barb.  Thanks for the info.  The state-by-state info is very useful.  I plan to share it with students in my basic writing class in the fall.  I want them to know, in dollars and cents, how much it will mean to them to complete college.

Hi Susan, 

Thanks for forwarding your excellent letter and the published memo you are 
responding to. Great Work! 

A state by state analysis of recent stuctural changes in both public and 
private colleges would be useful to have ready-to-hand. I'd love to read it if 
anyone knows of one. 

Council of Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) did something similar and 
produced a very rich analysis of state by state educational and workforce 
participation for adults. Here is just a sample of a finding reported on: "In 
35 states, more than 60 percent of the population does not have an 
associate's degree or higher." A major focus of this report is an argument for 
encouraging   adults to return to college. (I heard from a CAEL official that in 
an exchange that took place at a conference,   Cliff Adelman disagreed with 
some of the data or conclusions.) 

Here is a link to a summary of Adult Learning in Focus: National and 
State-by-State Data (2008):

Here is a link to the full report:

If you haven't read this already, you might want to check it out. If you 
have read it, I'd like to know what you think. Maybe in an off-line response 
to avoid flooding people's emails? 

Warm regards to you all,   Barbara Gleason
