Other Widening Participation activity. Executive Summary • The commitment of the University of Hull to widening participation is not new but longstanding c.f. Access to Continuing Education (ACE) days introduced 1994, Local bursaries introduced 1995 • We have adopted a strategic approach. Activities align with a widening participation strategy and are monitored by a widening participation group chaired at senior level • The approach is also collaborative: Networks and forums have been established for meaningful liaison and identification of progression issues with other providers developed Associate Colleges, Humber HE Executive5, Joint Development Boards. Collaborative working reflects the fact that no one agency is likely to be able to counteract serious issues of low aspiration, attainment and progression. • Activities are proactive and effective: Many aspiration raising activities involve staff and students engaging themselves in feeder institutions and other learning environments. By their nature many aspiration raising activities are long term and students do not necessarily progress to the University if Hull. Appropriate monitoring is in place and where it is possible to measure short term effects these appear to be successful e.g. over 50% of the Gateway students applied for HE6 • There is a broad range of activities since it is likely that not all strategies will prove effective. In total over 50 projects are sponsored by University Widening Participation Group • Our approach is increasingly to embed widening participation activity. Academic departments are provided with incentives and good practice is identified for dissemination. • We have nationally recognised expertise. The SciX programme is well known but other elements have been recognised by awards of ESF grant funding and invitations received to participate in national schemes. • Increasingly our strategies involve staff and students on a funded or voluntary basis becoming involved in local schools and communities. • This briefing is only a summary of activity and further details of any aspect are available on request Reformulated as Humber HE Council in Summer 2004 6 Latest data (2004) shows 70% from Gateway programme and 90% from summer schools apply to HE

  • DETERMINATION OF DBE PARTICIPATION A firm must be an eligible DBE and perform a professional or technical function relating to the project. Once a firm is determined to be an eligible DBE, the total amount paid to the DBE for work performed with his/her own forces is counted toward the DBE goal. When a DBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward DBE goals only if the subprovider is itself a DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward DBE goals. A DBE subprovider may subcontract no more than 70% of a federal aid contract. The DBE subprovider shall perform not less than 30% of the value of the contract work with assistance of employees employed and paid directly by the DBE; and equipment owned or rented directly by the DBE. DBE subproviders must perform a commercially useful function required in the contract in order for payments to be credited toward meeting the contract goal. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for executing the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself . When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function, the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption. A Provider may count toward its DBE goal a portion of the total value of the contract amount paid to a DBE joint venture equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract performed by the DBE. Proof of payment, such as copies of canceled checks, properly identifying the Department’s contract number or project number may be required to substantiate the payment, as deemed necessary by the Department.
