Snyder and Stairs: Higher Education Data Reporting

In this episode, the JSGC podcast team interviews Bryan DeWalt and Allison Kobzowicz about two of our reports relating to higher education transparency. These report are the  "Instructional Output and Faculty Salary Costs of the State-related Universities" and "Information Disclosure of the State-related Universities" also known as the Snyder and Stairs reports. The Snyder report focuses on the cost to provide education and University performance metrics while the Stairs report centers around contract information of these institutions.  Among the topics discussed in this episode are the origins and development of these reports, a bit more about what type of information each one contains, as well as insights from this year's reports.Data for the 2022-23 school year can be found on the JSGC website for both Snyder and Stairs as well as data from previous years. Music by Joseph McDade.
