| Project Summary |
|
Excerpt:
"The institutional portfolios under development serve as vehicles for capturing the distinctive characteristics,
work and accomplishments of urban public universities. Project universities are developing a shared description of
'urban public university,' measures of effectiveness that reflect the universities’ urban missions and characteristics, and models for
documenting several fundamental learning outcomes." |

| Original Proposal |
|
Excerpt:
"Urban public comprehensive institutions are a particularly appropriate kind of institution to address the issue of quality
assurance and communication. First, they enroll a large fraction of the total undergraduate student population in this
country. Of the more than 12 million undergraduate students in all institutions in fall 1995, more than 1.3 million were at
master’s-granting public urban institutions.
"Second, urban public comprehensive institutions have particular challenges in communicating with their publics. Although
there are many aspects of their identity that create those challenges, three will illustrate the point: type of student body,
costs, and definition of institutional type." |
