Student Trust in Higher Education Institutions: How the Pandemic Influenced Undergraduate Trust
This article examines trust perceptions among college/university students before and after COVID-19 campus closures in spring 2020. Using a special NSSE set of trust items, we measured students' trust in key campus actors and social institutions. Our interests included examining trust level differences across student subgroups and the impact of these shifts in sentiment on their relationship with their campus and sense of belonging. We found a tr…
Is a HIP Always a HIP? The Case of Learning Communities
With the increasing adoption of learning communities, it is imperative to document their effectiveness. Using a large, longitudinal, multi-institutional dataset, we found that linked-learning communities positively impact students’ engagement and perceived gains. We also found that the estimated effect of learning communities varies widely across institutions on various measures. Some learning communities are very beneficial, while others have a …
The Relationship of First-Year Residence Hall Roommate Assignment Policy with Interactional Diversity and Perceptions of the Campus Environment
A heterogeneous student body is valued in part because diverse interactions among students help create educated and competent citizens and promote learning and development. Campus housing is a primary setting for diverse interactions as students navigate living with individuals who differ from themselves. This study investigated how the roommate assignment process influences interactional diversity and perceptions of the campus environment for fi…
How Important are High Response Rates for College Surveys
Higher education researchers have witnessed a long term decline in college student survey participation. However, survey methodologists have found that low response rates do not necessarily bias results. We investigated whether this proposition holds true for a college student survey by performing a level of effort analysis on 555 survey administrations that achieved a response rate of at least 50 percent. Using five quantitative measures, we fou…
Impact of the Environment: How Does Attending a Hispanic-Serving Institution Influence the Engagement of Baccalaureate-Seeking Latina/o Students
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) enroll the majority of Latina/o students in higher education; however, it is unclear how HSIs influence Latina/os’ postsecondary experiences. In this study, we examined how the Latina/o student experience differed between students who did and did not attend 4-year HSIs. The results suggest that HSIs generally have positive, but modest, effects on Latina/o’s student engagement and self-perceived gains. The diff…
Understanding Admitted Doctoral Students’ Institutional Choices: Student Experiences versus Faculty and Staff Perceptions
In the absence of extensive data on doctoral institution choice, assumptions by faculty and administrators flourish. Due to increasing calls for diversity, continuing economic hardship, and decreasing yield rates, especially for underrepresented minorities, a highly selective research university (very high research activity) administered two sets of surveys regarding the admissions cycle and institution choice process: one to admitted doctoral st…
Is “Race-Neutral” Really Race-Neutral: Disparate Impact towards Underrepresented Minorities in Post-209 UC System Admissions
Authors examine the proportion of undergraduate applications, admissions, and enrollments preceding, during, and after Proposition 209 while accounting for the relative growth in University of California eligibility for underrepresented minorities (URMs). They employed standard deviation analyses to measure dispersion of the URMs to non-URMs. Results suggest that disparate impact towards URMs persists, the magnitude is large, and affirmative acti…
