Investment Priorities
We focus on improving outcomes for Black, Latino, and Indigenous students and students from low-income backgrounds across three areas:
Finance
For institutions, this includes funding formulas and policies, as well as accountability for use of that funding. For students, this includes access to and allocation of financial aid as well as debt repayment and forgiveness.
Data
This includes connecting and improving existing federal and state systems to create usable information that reflects all students in all institutions while maintaining security and privacy.
Pathways
At the federal level, this includes strengthening connections between education and the workforce. State-level priorities include support for expanding the use of proven practices such as developmental education redesign and streamlining credit transfer.
