Report
on Remediation in NY and the Nation (pdf file)
(adapted from the report)
At the request of the
Committee on Higher and Professional Education, the Office of Higher Education
(OHE) has prepared this report on remedial education in higher education.
The report presents definitions that set the framework for the body of
the report, looks at national and New York State information, and addresses
issues of quality and cost as they relate to remediation in higher education.
By design the report does not address any of the other many issues associated
with the current, complex debate about remediation in higher education.
