ACTA releases Missouri report card
ACTA released this morning our newest report, Show Me: A Report Card on Public Higher Education in Missouri. The schools ACTA studied receive millions in taxpayer dollars, and the public has the right to know how that money is being spent. Unfortunately, ACTA found that both the University of Missouri System and Missouri State University deserve "F"s for cost and effectiveness. Grades were mixed in the areas of general education, intellectual diversity, and governance. The report should serve as a helpful guide for trustees and administrators interested in addressing student needs in these critical areas, and we understand it will be a major focus of upcoming trustee meetings in Missouri. All of the grades can be found in the Executive Summary. For the reasoning behind the grades, consult the full report.

As I note on my blog, this report's survey of students is worthless due to the speculative questions asked. Unfortunately, it adds nothing to the debate of ideas about intellectual bias on campus.
