AIHEC AIMS Fact Book 2005—Tribal Colleges and Universities Report »

A report from American Indian Higher Education Consortium prepared by Systemic Research, Inc., this is the first in a series of reports using the new AIHEC American Indian Measures for Success in Higher Education (AIHEC AIMS) data collection system. Over the past four years, AIHEC developed culturally-relevant measures of American Indian success in higher education and used them at the nation’s TCUs. The new system is expected to form the foundation for systemic reform that significantly increases American Indian success in higher education. It provides a tool for TCUs and institutions of higher education generally to be accountable to their communities, their students, and families. The project produced a 215-page fact book covering all the TCUs as well as a customized book for each college. The books contain 10 sections with a total of 45 indicators. Because numbers alone cannot convey student success, the report includes vignettes of students and TCUs telling their stories.
