This report evaluates the Urban University/Urban School Collaborative Program sponsored by the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC). The program provided grants for 16 projects to improve opportunities for youth in urban areas, giving them access to higher education and jobs. The grants were to be used to build collaboration among educational institutions and, wherever possible, involve the business community and local government in the collaborative effort. Although the individual projects vary in their approaches to collaboration and in their level of achievement, each is based upon the following assumptions: (1) collaboration works best when all institutions proceed on the basis of "enlightened self-interest"; (2) inter-institutional collaboration requires the direct and continued involvement of the chief executive officer of each institution; (3) resources needed for collaboration must come from the total institution and not just one division; and (4) if access to the world of work is to be improved, local government and business must also be involved in the collaboration. The report's three sections provide information on: (1) the background and history of the NASULGC-sponsored collaboratives and the methodology of the evaluation study; (2) the process and impact of the collaboration; and (3) the future role of NASULGC. Appendices describe the projects designed by recipients of planning grants (of approximately $2,500 each) and of "deepening" grants (which ranged from $10,000 to $15,000). (BJV)
