Home My WebLink AboutExhibit G Institution Evaluation Criteria and Matrix EVALUATION CRITERIA I. Brand Recognition Brand recognition is a critical factor in attracting funding, faculty, and students to the new institution. To gauge institutions’ brand recognition we utilized the US News Ranking and World Report Ranking1 to create the below evaluation scale: • 5 – Globally recognized institution • 4 – Highly regarded institution in the U.S. • 3 – Highly recognized institution in California • 2 – Regional institutions in other parts of the U.S. • 1 – Unknown institution II. Financial Endowment (per Student) Financial Endowment is an indicator that evaluates each institution’s financial capacity to pursue and help fund a new campus. Based on 2014 National Association of College and University Business NACUBO Common Fund Study of Endowments2, we measured this criterion by dividing the financial endowment received by the total student body size – undergraduate, graduate and professional students (2014). • 5 – Endowment of $472,000 and above • 4 – Endowment of $148,000 to $472,000 • 3 - Endowment of $58,000 to $148,000 • 2 - Endowment of $11,000 to $58,000 • 1 - Endowment of $11,000 and below III. Tuition Cost (per Year) Providing education opportunities that are accessible is one of the nine goals established by the city for this project. We assessed each institution’s tuition fee 1 US News and World Ranking http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges 2 NACUBO http://www.nacubo.org/Research/NACUBO-Commonfund_Study_of_Endowments.html 30 S. 15TH STREET | 15TH FLOOR | PHILADELPHIA, PA 19102 | (2 15) 279-8385 (2015-2016) based on out of state tuition costs and developed the ranking system as below: • 5 – Tuition cost less than $40,000 • 4 – Tuition cost ranging from $40,000 to $43,000 • 3 – Tuition cost ranging from $43,000 to $45,000 • 2 – Tuition cost ranging from $45,000 to $48,000 • 1 – Tuition cost ranging from $48,000 and above IV. Mexican Connection To further the goal of a binational institution, we evaluated each institution’s existing academic interests in Mexico. Each institution was evaluated based on their active programmatic connections to Mexico. The evaluation system is detailed below: • 5 - Institution with active relationship with Mexico (Research Center, offering joint degree programs, participating in 100,000 Strong In Americas) • 4 - Institution with specific Mexico Study Center/Program • 3 - Institution with Latin American Department • 2 - Institution with programmatic interest as demonstrated through publications and articles, however, no established department or center • 1 - No information V. Diversity Indicators For diversity we referred to U.S News Diversity Index.3 The Diversity Index calculates the total proportion of minority students with the respect to the overall student body and measures the probability that students at the university will encounter undergraduates from a racial or ethnic group different from their own. The Diversity Index ranges from 0 to 1, where the closer the institution is to 1, the more diverse the student population. We collected the data for the diversity index and then split the records into quintiles described below. Please note that diversity information Columbia University, CUNY – Lehman College, and Southwestern College, was not made available and therefore was supplemented with the ethnicity and diversity index from College Factual. 3 US, News Diversity Index http://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/campus-ethnic-diversity- methodology • 5 – Very Diverse (Index: .66+) • 4 – Diverse (Index: .61-.65) • 3 – Moderately Diverse (Index: .55-.60) • 2 – Slightly Diverse (Index: .49-.54) • 1 – Not very diverse (Index: .25-.48) The full list of institutions we assessed is presented below: PRIVATE OUT-OF-STATE PRIVATE IN-STATE American University California Institute of Technology Baylor University Point Loma Nazarene University Boston College Pomona College Boston University Santa Clara University Carnegie Mellon Stanford University Case Western Reserve University of San Diego Columbia University University of Southern California Drexel University Duke University PUBLIC IN-STATE Emory University California State University, Northridge George Washington University California Polytechnic State University Georgetown University San Diego State University Harvard University Southwestern College Johns Hopkins University University of California Riverside Lehigh University University of California San Diego Massachusetts Institute of Technology Northeastern University PUBLIC OUT-OF-STATE Northwestern University Arizona State University New York University Colorado State University Rice University City University of New York - Lehman College Syracuse University New Mexico State University Tufts University Purdue University University of Chicago University of Illinois – Urbana University of Notre Dame West Virginia University Vanderbilt University Wake Forest University Washington University in St. Louis Exhibit G: Institutional Evaluation Matrix INSTITUTION Brand Recognition Endowment (Per Student)Tuition Partnership with Mexican Institutions Diversity Indicator Total Score RICE 5 5 4 5 5 24 STANFORD UNIVERSITY 5 5 3 5 5 23 CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 5 5 4 5 4 23 HARVARD 5 5 2 5 5 22 MIT 5 5 2 5 5 22 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO 5 2 5 5 4 21 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 5 3 2 5 5 20 SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY 4 1 5 5 5 20 DUKE UNIVERSITY 5 5 2 4 4 20 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE 4 1 5 5 5 20 COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY*5 4 1 4 5 19 NYU 5 3 2 5 4 19 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO 5 5 1 5 3 19 CARNEGIE MELLON 5 3 1 5 4 18 ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY 4 1 5 5 3 18 UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO 4 2 4 5 3 18 PURDUE UNIVERSITY 4 3 5 5 1 18 CASE WESTERN RESERVE 4 4 4 3 3 18 CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE 3 1 5 3 5 17 JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY 5 4 1 3 4 17 NORTHWESTERN 4 5 1 3 4 17 POMONA COLLEGE 4 5 3 1 4 17 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS - URBANA 2 2 5 5 3 17 CUNY - LEHMAN COLLEGE*2 1 5 5 3 16 WASHINGTON U ST.
