Tis report highlights our eorts to meet traditional and changing expectations or theAssociation. raditional ways we are meeting these include raising unds in the business community or student scholarships,advocating or student access to an independent college education through support or ederal and state student nancial aid andloan programs, and representing our members in the policy-making process so they have a reasonable chance to meet their ownstudents and constituents expectations.Tis report provides a vehicle to show how we are meeting resh opportunities and challenges. Sustaining the unique, bedrock

qualities associated with independent higher education in a changing scal and competitive environment has provided new ocusor our eorts.

Changing expectations also present new scal challenges to leaders that makeextraordinary eorts to keep an independent college education aordable.Tere is a growing realization that our sector contributes substantially to meeting the public policy expectations o postsecondaryeducation.

KHEAA distributed approximately $41 million to AIKCU students in 2004-05, or about3.5 percent o the states total spending on higher education. Because an educated populacehas numerous long term benets or the Commonwealth (increased household incomeand quality o lie, greater lietime earnings and contributions to the states tax base, lowerincarceration rates, and many others), this relatively small investment in AIKCU students

I graduated rom Russell High School in 1996 andduring my 11th grade year I was able to go on an ex-change program to study in Australia or 10 months.Tis was one o the greatest opportunities I havehad in my educational career to date. In doing thisthough my parents were unable to help nancially

when it came time or me to go to college the allater graduation. Ater trying to work several jobsand take a ull load at ACC, I gave up and droppedout o school because I was unable to work the hoursI needed to pay or school and still spend the timein the books I needed to make the grades. But myScouting history and ROC training encouragedme to nd other means o working and getting aneducation. So I went down to the recruiters oceand enlisted in the Navy. I spent our years onboardthe USS Carl Vinson (named ater a Kentuckyboy!).. While in the Navy I was able to take someclasses through an education program on the ship.Tough the GI Bill is helping with costs it certainlydoesnt cover all my school and living expenses.

I hope to be able to nd a teaching job in the areawhen I graduate. Ater teaching or a year I plan to

Government RelationsGovernment relations and public policyadvocacy are cornerstones o AIKCUsmission. AIKCU represents its members ina myriad o ways at the state and nationallevels. Historically, student nancial aid hasbeen the public policy issue that impacts theindependent sector most. In recent years,other public policy issues have gained inimportance and demanded more time andattention.

Carrying out AIKCUs mission at the state level centers on sharing inormation withpolicy makers, responding to requests or inormation, monitoring legislative activi-ties during the session and interim, monitoring and serving on executive organiza-tions and committees and generally advocating or our members.State leaders expectations o postsecondary education changed in 1997 with thepassage o postsecondary education reorm legislation. Tis legislation and 1998 leg-

islation that established a rm and growing unding source or state student nancialaid programs ushered in a new public policy era or AIKCU. Tese events served asthe catalyst or AIKCU and its members to emerge as partners in the states eorts toimprove its educational standing. Te reorm legislation recognizes the critical rolepostsecondary education must play in building a positive uture or the state andits citizens and redirects policies and resources to achieve articulated goals. Tis ap-proach oers an opportunity or independent campuses to assist the state in meetingits goals.

Te period since 1998 has been marked by an integration o AIKCU into the postsec-ondary education decision-making process and growing AIKCU involvement in thestates eorts to achieve stated goals.

Assistance Authority & Student Loan Corporation. AIKCU represents its membercampuses with these organizations and beore the Educational Proessional StandardsBoard, as well as beore many other committees and executive state agencies.

Te AIKCU commitment to partner with the state where mutually benecial isexpected to grow based on the mutual respect that has developed between state and

AIKCU leaders. A revised series o postsecondary education goalsstated in the ormo ve questionshave been adopted by the Council on Postsecondary Education inthe last year. AIKCU is committed to aiding the Commonwealth in achieving thesegoals. AIKCU sta recently joined with the Council in establishing a series o keyindicators to measure our progress in meeting the goals.

AIKCU involvement at the national level revolves around ederal student aid andregulatory policy. AIKCU activity over the last year has centered on Congressionaleorts to reauthorize the Higher Education Act. AIKCU sta has joined with col-leagues in sharing inormation with the states Congressional delegation about theimpact o various reauthorization strategies.
