Under the Student Parent Data Collection Act (110 ILCS 149), the Illinois Board of Higher Education worked in conjunction with the Illinois public universities and advocates to develop an operational definition, execute a workable data collection plan, and provide reports annually on this traditionally underserved and underreported student group.
The report includes systematic and statewide reporting on student parents and their academic outcomes, and for the second consecutive year, includes information uniformly collected across all 12 of the Illinois public universities and fulfills IBHE's mandated annual reporting requirement and provides evidence of the full compliance of the Illinois public universities in working with IBHE staff and providing all required information on student parents. The report also includes baseline information on one of the key support services provided to student parents, namely the availability of on-campus or university affiliated childcare.
