In the fall of 2011, the Board of Regents released "The State and the System: NSHE Plan for Nevada's Colleges and Universities" (see ED525051). That plan, commonly referred to as the Board's "Strategic Directions," outlined specific goals for combining excellence and austerity to achieve student success. Since that time, the State and the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) have been laser-focused on a broad completion agenda grounded in an expectation of increased performance at every level. Despite the successes of the last several years, however, there is much work to do. This report describes NSHE's recent strides forward in expanding performance, access, success, opportunity, efficiency, and alignment.
