3
1. Determine the cost of shifting the educational attainment of young Oregonians from the current rates to a steady-state rate of 40-40 by the age of 28 by the year 2025
2. Provide an interactive model which demonstrates key leverage points, educational pathways, productivity and associate costs
3. Estimate total cost, permitting the apportionment of state, local and student/family on a yearly/biennial basis
4. Identify areas of focus and strategic investment / partnership with stakeholder groups to achieve goals
GOALS
4
Focused on f low of students (age cohorts)
Focused on public universities and community colleges
Out-of-state and private post-secondary will be assumed to remain constant in enrollment and degree production
Student Credit Hours will be the unit of analysis
Assume cost drivers will not outpace inflation
Productivity will be assumed to be f lat in determining costs
10-year post high school for “flow” period
ASSUMPTIONS
5
FLOW MODEL
6
Determine pathways of students and actual f lows in magnitude and timing, into, between and out of public post-secondary institutions
Identify total cost to produce total credit hours (cost per credit hour)
Apportion cost per credit hour
Use f low of students to trace accumulation of credits and associated costs, including: Investment in tuition and fees by students
Investment in cost of living by students
Investment in students from the state
Investment in students from local sources

COST MODEL

Use flow of students to show actual pathways of
students
Provide information on simplified set of
“typical” student pathways and associated costs
Show where and how many students are entering
the system and their progress over a ten year
timeframe (enter the “stock”)

TELLING THE STORY
13
If we boiled down all of the flow
between pathways where do ten “typical”
students end up currently?
TELLING THE STORY
What investment is made by the students, the
state and local governments in
their education?
Given the current cost and productivity
what would the cost of maintaining the
40-40 flow be?
14
1. Determine the cost of shifting the educational attainment of young Oregonians from the current rates to a steady-state rate of 40-40 by the age of 28 by the year 2025
2. Provide an interactive model which demonstrates key leverage points, educational pathways, productivity and associate costs
