Abstract

Higher education is in an age of accountability, with accrediting agencies, government leaders, taxpayers, parents, and students demanding to see outcomes for expended resources. The costs of higher education have been increasing well beyond the rate of inflation, student loan debt is higher than ever, and students, families, employers, and policymakers are all expressing some concern that a college education does not necessarily result in appropriate employment after graduation. For student affairs professionals, this age of accountability translates into an age of assessment: We must demonstrate that the work we do is producing the desired results.
