An Introduction to Instructional Spending in Higher Ed

Third Way, The Century Foundation, and Veterans Education Success

As the Higher Education Act (HEA) is being discussed in the House and Senate, many are calling for new policies that would give students and taxpayers a better return on their investment. In an effort to better understand how well schools are currently putting their resources towards helping students succeed, The Century Foundation, Third Way, and Veterans Education Success are coming together to pull back the curtains on instructional spending in higher education, dive into why it matters, and explore how best it could be used. 
The event will kick off with a brief overview of how to think about instructional spending, followed by opportunities to interact with the data (think science fair!). We’ll have something for everyone – no prior knowledge of instructional spending needed!
