Projected Outcomes. The University outperforms the adjusted sector average on its projected first degree completion rates, with a rate of 91.5% (2009/10). If account is taken of those projected to transfer to another institution, such as Durham’s cohort of Phase 1 medical students to Newcastle University, Durham’s projected completion rate is 97%.
Projected Outcomes. The goal for this program is to reduce acts of violence throughout the City of Columbus with specific focus on low-income communities and communities of color while increasing expressions of pro-social and positive behavioral changes in these same targeted areas.
Projected Outcomes. 12.1. Targets for increasing participation and retention of students from underrepresented communities are given below against the published HEFCE Performance Indicators. This is slightly problematic because of eighteen months delay in publication of official figures for any academic year. However, we regard them as the most reliable indicators at present, affording benchmarking against our own performance and that of the sector at large. As internal data production becomes more comprehensive, we may seek to substitute our indicators for those of HEFCE. 1 Bursary payments do not include Compact or postcode awards. Income bursaries only - represent c30% of additional income in 08/09, 31.2%% in 09/10, and c 32,4% in 10/11 2 These costs as well as fees and income bursaries will rise with inflation, but are all represented here without inflation.
12.2. Our proposed targets for participation reflect our current success, and are deliberately more modest than those for retention, since all Universities will to some degree be competing more for those students from disadvantaged groups in the first instance. Although participation may increase across the sector as a whole, growth is unlikely to be distributed evenly across institutions. Since UoD has a strong track record for Widening Participation, and those institutions who have less of a record are being challenged most to improve, it may be that in the early stages UoD makes little net gain. This may well be exacerbated by concern amongst the targets groups about potential debt until new arrangements are fully understood, which will be when the first cohorts of students have completed their studies under the new arrangements. As a consequence, our general strategy will continue to be to maintain a strong profile for Widening Participation and to improve retention rates to meet or exceed benchmark.

Projected Outcomes. The goal for this program is to reduce poverty by 50% throughout the City of Columbus by developing a 10-year actionable poverty reduction strategic plan, with stakeholder. The initiative will comprehensively survey State-level policies and regulations to identify those that create barriers for individuals and families working to achieve financial self- sufficiency and oversee advocacy work to know down those walls. Also, the program will lead a development campaign to raise awareness, fund pilot projects, and ensure this work can go forward until the goal is reached.
