AIR/NCES Data Policy Fellow Report

The Association for Institutional Research (AIR) has recently posted a report authored by Sean Simone, AIR/NCES Data Policy Fellow, entitled Tuition and Fee Differentiation at Degree Granting Postsecondary Education Institutions. Many IPEDS Keyholders participated in the research for the report, and may be interested in the results. The report is located at: http://www.airweb.org/images/Simone_Final_Report_2010.pdf. The Data Policy Fellow Program is designed to improve the quality, comparability, and usefulness of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, and receives financial support from NCES.
