Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda: The UW Oshkosh Proposal Board of Regents Presentation May 4, 2006 Richard H. Wells, Chancellor University of Wisconsin Oshkosh

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda Is there a “Brain DRAIN”? Wisconsin consistently ranks in the top 10 states in high school graduation rate of ninth graders, and 5th in the percentage of high school graduates who immediately enroll in a four-year college or the UW Colleges, but only 35th in the percentage of bachelor’s degree holders in the adult population.

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda Is there a “Brain DRAIN”? Are Wisconsin citizens with UW degrees leaving the state in droves? Are Wisconsin university graduation rates well below the national average?

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda Does the evidence support a “Brain DRAIN”? Fact: 83% of Wisconsin residents who graduate from UW institutions STAY in Wisconsin. Fact: 17% of out-of-state graduates STAY in Wisconsin. Fact: Overall percentage of those who STAY is higher than National average. Fact: Retention rates of Wisconsin universities are 13th highest in nation, Fact: Graduation rates of Wisconsin universities are 17th highest in nation.

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda The State’s low percentage of bachelor’s degree holders cannot be explained by its high college graduation rates, and high rate of retaining college graduates in the state.

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda Is there a “Brain GAIN” problem? Wisconsin ranks 43rd in the nation in percentage of people with college degrees migrating into the state. The State’s low percentage of bachelor’s degree holders is partially explained by the low percentage of such degree holders migrating to Wisconsin.

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda The “Brain DRAIN” is mostly a myth. There is a “Brain GAIN” problem, but it accounts only for part of the “gap.” So, how do we account for most of the gap between the high percentage of High School graduates going to college and the low percentage of bachelor’s degree holders in Wisconsin’s adult population?

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda Is there a “Brain DEVELOPMENT” problem? Fact: Only 24.1% of Wisconsin’s adults have a bachelor degree. Fact: The national average is 27%. Fact: Only 18.8 % of Northeast Wisconsin residents hold bachelor degrees. Fact: The 18.8% is lower than that of any state except for one.

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda Is there a “Brain DEVELOPMENT” problem? Fact: Wisconsin ranks 35th in the nation for its low percentage of bachelor degree holders. Fact: Wisconsin ranks 7th in the nation for its high percentage of associate degree holders. Fact: Wisconsin needs 70,000 more adults with a bachelor’s degree to reach the national average.

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda The “Brain DEVELOPMENT” problem Fact: 150,000 NE Wisconsin residents have some college but lack a bachelor’s degree. Fact: 62,000 have an associate degree but lack a bachelor’s degree. Fact: The NE Wisconsin Technical Colleges and the UW Colleges awarded close to 13,000 associate degrees in the past five years.

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda The “Brain DEVELOPMENT” problem Conclusions: The associate degree is seen as a terminal degree, for a large number of Wisconsin residents, especially in NE Wisconsin. It appears that a lower percentage of Wisconsin residents desire and achieve bachelor degree status when compared to other states, especially in NE Wisconsin.

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda “Brain DEVELOPMENT” is a problem because we envision Wisconsin being nationally admired for its: Quality of life, Vibrant knowledge-based economy, For having a much more highly skilled and educated citizenry, and For developing (“growing”) our own “brains” throughout the lifetime of all Wisconsinites.

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda : 

Northeast Wisconsin Growth Agenda UW Oshkosh provides solutions for the problem of “Brain DEVELOPMENT” On-Campus Enrollment Growth (2000-05) up 7.1% despite budget cuts Degrees conferred up 8.4% Student Retention Rate up 8.5% Number of Students of color up 58% Older Adult Undergrads up 5.5%. Major reinvestment is necessary to help restore quality and to continue providing “Brain DEVELOPMENT” solutions
