We were just about to make up a nice retirement certificate for him when we found out that, just this fall, he became the Registrar for National University. Michael says he went back to work, at the Torrey Pines office in La Jolla, because he was "going nuts gardening for nine months." Welcome back!

Prior to his Iowa days, Daniel served as Associate Registrar for Teachers College, Columbia University in New York from 1987 to 1996 , and as Registrar at Mount St. Mary's College in Los Angeles from 1979 to 1987. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Antioch College.

Jerry Montag, jmontag@rice.edu, is the new University Registrar at Rice University. Jerry was previously the Director of Admissions and Records at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

CIP Final Draft Released

AACRAO has been critically involved in the development of the CIP-2000 and encourages campus administrators, particularly registrars and institutional researchers, to participate in this final review process. This is a great opportunity for users of the CIP to have input in the development of the taxonomy before the final version is published. Comments on the accuracy of the program titles and descriptions are particularly needed. . Your review of this draft will help us ensure that these changes are adequately reflected in the CIP update.

The draft is located at http://nces.ed.gov/npec/papers/cipPreface.html. Bookmarks (i.e., a clickable table of contents) are provided on the left side of first page of the document to allow reviewers to quickly locate the program areas on which they are interested in commenting. Please provide suggestions for changes and improvements, where you think they are needed. Comments or questions should be sent to the Department of Education at CIP@ed.gov. Comments should be submitted by December 8, 2000. Please feel free to also send comments or questions to Brenda at ashfordb@aacrao.org or by phone at 202.293.0161, Ext.6102.

Study on College-Level Learning in High School

Nominations and Elections Committee Meets this Weekend

Caught in the Surf: Websites You Can Use

Digital signatures: Richard Yount, RLYount@email.uncc.edu, Registrar at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, recommends the American Bar Association's tutorial on digital signatures found at http://www.abanet.org/scitech/ec/isc/dsg-tutorial.html.

Dropout and Graduation Rates: Tom Mortenson, Higher Education Policy Analyst at Postsecondary Education OPPORTUNITY, has compiled and posted at http://www.postsecondary.org/Spreadsheets.htm the entire ACT report series on freshman-to-sophomore institutional dropout rates and graduation rates. ACT originally reported these data in separate reports for 1983 and 1985 through 2000. Our compilation is in two Excel spreadsheets, one for dropout data and the other for graduation. The ACT data represent the longest published time-series of national institutional dropout and graduation rate data available. The data are especially valuable in that they are reported by institutional control, highest degree offered, and admissions selectivity. ACT has granted us permission to post their data to our website to make them available to those who use these data for research, reference and grant-writing purposes. Other spreadsheets at the same site include Bachelor's Degree Holders by State and Secondary School Graduation Rates by State.

FERPA brochure: Connie M. Goodman, Cgoodman@exchange.ureg.ohio-state.edu, forwarded an announcement by the Ohio ACRAO Publicity and Publications Committee that their new FERPA brochure is now available. You will find it at http://www.OACRAO.ohiou.edu/news.html. The document is available in either a PDF format (http://www.OACRAO.ohiou.edu/ferpabrochure.pdf) or PageMaker (downloadable format). Space is available for institutions to insert their return address and affix a mailing label. OACRAO institutional representatives received a copy of the brochure via e-mail.

FirstGov.gov: In late September, President Bill Clinton on Friday launched FirstGov.gov, a single portal that will connect citizens to nearly all online federal government resources. By linking nearly all government resources, the site will allow users, for example, to download tax forms, apply for student loans, track Social Security benefits, and make reservations at national parks. Using a privately developed search engine called FedSearch, FirstGov combs through 27 million Web pages from 20,000 government sites. The search engine is adequate and quick and does an excellent job of pulling appropriate results by common acronyms such as FERPA, OPE, and CIPRIS. Links to the legislative, judicial, and executive branches are excellent, though the state and local government link is misleading (it doesn't easily take you to YOUR state or local government site). This new effort is even underwritten by private funds and the site donated by Inktomi.

Home schooling: Home schooling is expanding worldwide. The Virginia-based Home School Legal Defense Association has had contact with home educators in 25 countries over the past few years, according to the Washington Times. Christopher J. Klicka, an HSLDA attorney, traveled to Germany and Japan this summer to help families organize to get home schooling legalized. ...In Japan, home schooling is becoming popular and is being supported by several leaders in the business community, the Times reported. Approximately 300,000 students a year drop out of junior and senior high schools, and Japan is looking for ways to return them to their studies. Home education also is growing in Germany, Klicka told the Times. ...Brian Ray, who runs the National Home Education Research Institute in Salem, OR, told the Times that he also has seen a surge in international interest. Ray has spoken at conferences in Switzerland and Great Britain, and in the last week took calls about home schooling from Kuwait, Korea, and from a Pakistani living in London. Home schooling has grown to an estimated 1.7 million students in the United States and is legal in every state. See the article at http://www.hslda.org/central/selected/docs/09-19-00_2.html.

NCES New Reports:

NCES has just released the report, "Issues Related to Estimating the Home-Schooled Population in the United States with National Household Survey Data". This report compares two studies that have yielded disparate estimates of the rate of home schooling in the United States. The analysis focuses on the methodology used in the 1996 National Household Education Survey and the 1994 Current Population Survey, with particular emphasis on potential sources of error in estimating the home-schooled population. To download, view and print the report as a pdf file, please visit: http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2000311

"Changes in High School Vocational Coursetaking" looks at trends in vocational course-taking among high-school students, examining these trends in light of labor market changes. The report notes that the declines in concentrated vocational course-taking from 1982 to 1998 were due primarily to declines in the "trade and industry" and "business" program areas. These vocational areas roughly correspond to occupations that have experienced below-average growth rates since the early 1980s. In addition, the four vocational program areas in which a larger proportion of students concentrated their course-taking in 1998 than in 1982 prepare students for occupations that experienced above-average growth rates. To download, view and print the report as a pdf file, please visit: http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2001026

And then there is "Dropout Rates in the United States: 1999." This report presents national data on high school dropout rates and high school completion rates from 1972 to 1999. It also provides state level information for the 1990s. Apart from showing basic rates, the report studies the relationship between various individual and family characteristics on one hand, and high school dropout and completion propensity on the other. To download, view and print the report as a pdf or html file, please visit: http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2001022

The report on "College Quality and the Earnings of Recent College Graduates" examines the association between factors such as selectivity and other institutional characteristics, and the earnings of recent college graduates 5 years after graduation. To address these issues, data from the 1980 High School and Beyond (HS&B) study were combined with information about courses, grades, credits, and credentials contained in the Post Secondary Education Transcript Study (PETS) as well as additional data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) on institutional characteristics and from the College Board's Annual Survey of Colleges. To download, view and print the report as a pdf file, please visit: http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2000043

This NCES report, "Debt Burden Four Years After College" presented in a new format, examines the debt of 1992-93 bachelor's degree recipients in light of their financial circumstances in 1997, approximately four years after they earned their degrees. First, it reviews the amount they borrowed as undergraduates and describes any additional borrowing by those who had enrolled in a graduate degree program. Next, it examines the progress that borrowers had made in repaying their student loans in 1997. Tables, graphs, and other reference items are now easily accessible. To view this e-pub, please visit: http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2000/debtburden/

The popular Public School/District Locator has just been updated to include 1998-99 data. This tool enables you to find the correct name, address, telephone number, NCES ID number, urbanicity (rural, large city, etc.), and other student and teacher information for public schools or school districts for school year 1998-99 as reported to NCES by state education officials in each state. To use this application, please visit: http://nces.ed.gov/ccdweb/school/

Postsecondary Education Programs Directory: The Directory lists 449 programs offered by 31 U.S. Departments and Agencies for which postsecondary education institutions, students, faculty, or employees are eligible to apply. The Directory was created by extracting information on relevant programs from the Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA), a comprehensive listing of all federal programs compiled by the General Services Administration (GSA). It is designed to assist student, institutional, research, and other customers interested in postsecondary education federal programs.

State Higher Education Report Cards: The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education is developing a tool that state policy leaders can use to access useful comparative information about their state's performance in higher education -- public and private, two- and four-year. To assist state policy leaders in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of higher education performance in their state, the Center is developing a state-by-state report card that compares and evaluates each state's performance in higher education. Information about the Center's State-by-State Report Cards is available at http://www.highereducation.org/reports/reportcard/reportcard.shtml.

NB:  If you know of a web resource or a bit of web humor that you think may be useful to your colleagues, please send the URL to Scott Dittman at sdittman@wlu.eduso it may be considered for inclusion in a future issue of NetNews.  Tell a little about why you like it and be credited with the catch.

Closing Thought

This is one time of year when many of us are thinking of giving presents. Many of us tend to forget about those in need while we hustle about in our busy lives, and some of us feel that we simply don't have enough to contribute to charitable causes. However, the Internet continues to help nonprofit organizations break new ground in their effort to better the world for those living in it. With just a minimal amount of research and a pinch of good will, anyone can contribute to a worthy cause with the click of a button.

One location the article mentions has been presented here before. I have bookmarked The Hunger Site at http://www.thehungersite.com so I hit it every morning as soon as I "boot up." It is linked closely to the sites where your mouse clicks will also donate money to The Rainforest Site, The Kids' AIDS Site, The Child Survival Site, and The Breast Cancer Site. In fact, this week's issue of The Internet Tourbus (www.tourbus.com) is all about "doing good" online. That article is available at in the Tourbus archives. Happy thanks clicking ... er ... giving!
