Ohio’s Higher Education Information (HEI) System

The Higher Education Information (HEI) System in Ohio, established in 1998, represents a state-of-the-art data warehouse providing crucial insights into higher education. It collects and analyzes comprehensive data on student demographics, faculty, facilities, finances, and academic programs. This system supports policymakers, researchers, and educational institutions in administering state funding and enhancing educational outcomes. Over the last five years, HEI has playfully tackled challenges, including remedial education data analysis and legislative responses like the OhioCore, aimed at strengthening academic requirements.

  3. HEI is… • Ohio’s state-of-the-art, web-enabled Higher Education Information System • Created in Winter,1998 • A comprehensive relational data warehouse that contains unit record higher education information on:

  4. HEI contains… • Student data • Demographics, course enrollments, degree awards, financial aid (all-terms) • Faculty data • Demographics, compensation, courses taught • Facilities data • Size, use, cost, deferred maintenance of all facilities • Financial data • Revenues and expenditures by function and purpose; budget data; research revenues and expenditures • Academic programs • Subject, degree level, credits to degree • Non-credit instruction

  5. How is HEI Used? • Administer complex formulas • State operating and capital subsidy provided annually • Resource Analysis • Facilities Utilization • Develop, implement, and evaluate programs and policies • Connect higher education data to other datasets for research and administrative purposes • Respond to frequent ad-hoc data requests from legislature, campuses, media, and public

  6. HEI background and development • Legacy system designed/built in 1960s, useless by 1990s • Reengineered every variable, field, file, submission and acquisition process, and architecture • Designed and built with campus skepticism/opposition, then support • Campuses now have a data warehouse available to them 24/7/365

  7. Promoting partnerships and research Designed for use by academic researchers FERPA was a major hurdle, initially Agency capacity to help always an issue and limitation Collaborate with Dr. Bettinger, Long, Hawley and other academic researchers

  8. One recent contribution…

  9. Remedial education, data, and policy: HEI documented… • Prevalence of need (38% HC per year) • Persistence of need (no improvement over time) • Location of service (mostly community college) • Cost of remediation • State direct costs = ~$60 million per year • Student costs (financial, time, and otherwise) • Effects on retention and degree attainment

  10. OhioCore: Legislative response Strengthen academic requirements to obtain a high school degree Restrict enrollment to most universities to students who have completed the OhioCore curriculum Non-completers  Two-year campuses State funding for remediation limited for most universities

  11. Selected next challenges Restructure adult post-secondary education organization and services “Making Opportunity Affordable” Revise/implement success-based state subsidy Develop performance + need-based grant program

  12. Thank you!
