2018 College Equity Report: Measuring Gaps in Educational Opportunity
Indiana Commission for Higher Education
Population projections indicate that Indiana is to become increasingly more diverse in upcoming years, and these demographic changes are already reflected in Indiana's high school graduate pipeline. For the purpose of this report, "equity" refers to the idea that a student's social circumstances should not dictate his or her chance of academic success. Equity is measured by observing areas where it does not exist -- gaps between students with different backgrounds. These gaps are known as "achievement gaps." To measure equity, this report takes a look at five achievement gap indicators, while focusing on four demographic populations. Achievement gap indicators include: (1) Pre-College Success; (2) College-Going Rates; (3) Early Success in College; (4) On-Time College Graduation Rates; and (5) Extended College Graduation Rates. Demographic populations include: (1) Gender; (2) Race/Ethnicity; (3) Socioeconomic Status; and (4) Rural/Non-Rural Classification.
