Noted: It wasn?t just for-profits that had quibbles with the process. Sara Goldrick-Rab, an associate professor of educational policy studies and sociology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, was on the 10-member panel that was to consider the standards. According to an audio recording of the panel?s one meeting, Goldrick-Rab took issue with what she saw as flawed and “instigating” data the board?s staff members had used to come up with the benchmarks. She criticized their focus on “input data” without adequate attention to the academic preparation of students who attend the state?s for-profits.
