2024年7月16日 - 10:00PM
Acuity Insights, the leading provider of admissions assessment,
program management, and analytics solutions for higher education,
announces the release of its new report: “Widening Pathways with
Lottery Admissions”.
The report comes at a time when admissions leaders are grappling
with changes to the higher education landscape and are looking
beyond traditional admissions approaches to new, innovative ways of
providing higher education opportunities to a wider pool of
aspiring and qualified students.
Lottery admissions, a strategy that adds randomness to the
selection process, has been used in the Netherlands and is emerging
in North America. Introducing a lottery system into the higher
education admissions process has the potential to mitigate biases
and promote socioeconomic diversity.
Higher education institutions are embracing holistic admissions
approaches – and lottery admissions is one innovative strategy that
can help widen pathways into education and improve access and
equity.
The new report highlights:
- Why higher education institutions should be considering lottery
admissions
- The three main types of lottery admission models, including
their benefits and considerations. The three models are: threshold,
rubric, and formula
- How to align your organizational mission with your lottery
admissions system
- And much more!
Acuity Insights’s Co-Founder and VP, of Science &
Innovation, Dr. Kelly Dore, says:“Lottery systems in admissions is
not a new concept, and it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach – but
lottery admissions, when implemented through the lens of an
institution’s organizational mission, has the potential to increase
access and equity in education. Our effort through this report is
to support admissions leaders with important information and
strategies related to this often-overlooked but incredibly powerful
and innovative admissions approach.”
