The Tribal Colleges and Universities #RealCollege Survey
By The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice http://hope4college.com/ at Temple University Native American students studying at tribal colleges and universities located in remote, rural, reservation communities experienced food and housing insecurity and homelessness at much greater rates than other college students, according to the Tribal Colleges and Universities #RealCollege Survey report.
The national survey was conducted by The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice with help from the American Indian College Fund. The survey was completed by 1,050 students at seven tribal colleges and universities located in seven states across the Midwest, Southwest, and Great Plains regions to ensure that tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and agencies and organizations that serve them better understand the basic needs TCU students face.

A Landscape Analysis Illustrating How TCUs Can Leverage Assessment to Drive Their Missions
This report presents the findings from a landscape analysis looking at how TCUs have integrated culturally grounded practices in their assessment work. Relying on previously published literature, strategic documents shared on TCU websites, and first-hand interviews with TCU staff about their college’s current culturally grounded assessment practices (CAPs), a model identifying actions that TCUs take when engaging in CAPs work, along with the characteristics that accompany this work, was created. By sharing this report, we aim to highlight the potential for TCUs to leverage assessment to actualize and drive their cultural missions.
