This amendment facilitates, as part of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia's effort to better assess and communicate the value of higher education, funding for the one-time administration of a graduate survey. The survey is expected to enable Virginia to assess the value and impact of higher education through direct student feedback. SCHEV plans to combine this information with the wage data it currently produces through the Virginia Longitudinal Data System. The funding will support surveying public institution graduates with sufficient sampling to yield results at the state, institution, and program level, as well as student demographic information.
