Presented and approved earlier this month at the Board of Governors meeting, Colorado State University Pueblo will launch an ambitious new recruitment initiative: the Regional In-State Equivalent (RISE) rate. In an effort to continue the university’s commitment to accessibility and affordability, RISE will offer new students from bordering states, California, Nevada, Texas, and five additional countries tuition at the same rate as in-state students beginning in Fall 2025.

Banning legacy admissions levels a different playing field. With affirmative action and DEI policies already being banned or pushed out, it was only a matter of time and fairness before legacy admissions would face the same situation. California becomes only the second state to ban legacy admissions at private universities and fifth to ban the practice across the board with several other states considering similar legislation. "Being a legacy is kind of like getting the Disney FastPass to go to the front of the line." In a nutshell, that's legacy admissions. And while being related to alumnus or major donors doesn't guarantee admission, they certainly provide preferential treatment to applicants. For all the chatter about inequality around affirmative action in universities, the reality is legacy admissions have had a greater impact in admissions. Legacy and donor ties have adversely affected recruitment and financial aid programs for a very long time, and unfortunately, at the expense of students who deserved to be admitted based on merit and skills. Legacy admissions reveal the unfortunate truth in the inequitable system of college admissions. While critics of affirmative action often talk about inequality, the evidence has been clear with legacy admissions. They benefit wealthier applicants and compound the benefits of generational wealth and social privilege. In fact, these preferences are responsible for more inequality in higher education than any other factor. In practice, legacy admissions effectively act as a form of affirmative action for rich applicants, while negatively impacting education opportunities for students of color and first-generation students. Given the increasing competitiveness of college admissions, abolishing legacy admissions is essential to promote fairness and equal opportunity for all applicants. California's ban of legacy admissions is a step in the right direction, and more states hopefully will follow https://lnkd.in/gTvZKCr7 #california #universities #admissions #inequality #diversity #students #wealth #culture

Are you excited for Election Night, or can't you wait for it to be over? Either way, we've got you covered with our expert panel who will take you through what this election might mean for students, higher education and student accommodation. As well as the obvious points we covered: 👉 Devolution and its many implications 👉 Vertical integration with further education and what that could mean 👉 Higher education as part of the industrial strategy 👉 Planning policy 👉 The importance of positive messaging 🎧 Listen now!
We know politicians impact Higher Education, students and student accommodation. As a result, we enlisted an expert panel to explore just how much, ahead of the 2024 General Election: https://lnkd.in/efKNJHFA Our host – our Higher Education External Engagement Director Jenny Shaw – speaks to Megan Haskins, Policy and Research Manager at University College London Students’ Union. Megan discusses the wider life of students; the positive impact they can have on communities, and those places on them, before and after graduation. Also, the need to think about local services, such as transport, to encourage future opportunities. Our guests also look at party manifestos, how universities should respond to these commitments – or lack of – and what we might expect from further devolution and Higher Education’s relationship with Further Education. They include George Blake, Policy and Networks Officer at London Higher; Dani Payne, Senior Researcher at Social Market Foundation; and Ian Fletcher, Director of Policy at the British Property Foundation. Megan said: “A student's life when they go to university is not just their life at their institution, they are using the infrastructure that exists around them in their cities or in the locality of their institution if they're a commuter student.”

NEW | Our latest report, done in collaboration with UCSA, examines UC undergraduate data to take a deeper look at college affordability for Californians. Since our original 2019 analysis, there have been improvements across several affordability metrics; however, equity gaps in borrowing have persisted among California’s under-resourced students. We commend the UC for its commitment to ensuring all Californians have access to affordable and equitable education, but it is imperative that more be done to support college affordability and higher education attainment for California's historically marginalized communities .

The Portland State University Board of Trustees recently voted to approve a new strategic plan for Oregon’s urban research university that will guide the institution through 2030 and aims to deliver on institutional priorities including improved service to students, employees and the Portland region. PSU also released an Economic & Social Impact Study detailing the university’s economic contribution to the Portland Metro Area, which exceeded $1.8 billion in Fiscal Year 2023. PSU supports 11,274 jobs and generates $714 million in labor outcome, as well as contributing $253 million in tax revenues, nearly $94 million of which benefits Oregon state and local governments.

7️⃣ YEARS OF FROZEN TUITION!! Commonwealth University students at the Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, Mansfield, and Clearfield campuses will not experience an increase in their tuition for the upcoming 2024-25 academic year. The State System Board of Governors voted unanimously to freeze tuition, keeping Commonwealth University one of the most affordable public higher education options in the state. This is the seventh consecutive year the tuition rate will remain the same. The repeated freezes save students nearly 25% in tuition costs compared to the price if tuition had risen at the inflation rate for the last six years. Read More ➡ https://lnkd.in/eRN63UYi

Washington and Lee University is proud to announce the implementation of a need-blind admissions policy! We will no longer consider students’ or families’ ability to pay when evaluating applications for undergraduate admission thanks to a $132 million gift from investor, philanthropist, and W&L alumnus William H. “Bill” Miller III. Miller’s extraordinary gift is the single largest in the university’s history and one of the largest dedicated to financial aid at any private liberal arts college. It allows W&L to implement a need-blind admissions policy for all undergraduate students while maintaining our existing commitments to meet 100% of demonstrated financial need and to do so with aid packages that do not include loans. W&L becomes one of a small number of highly selective colleges and universities able to do all three.

A new report by Lumina Foundation-Gallup State of Higher Education 2024 finds that the cost of higher education is a major barrier to students' enrollment and attainment of a bachelor's degree. Their study finds that 56% of never-enrolled and previously-enrolled adults say cost prevents them from getting a bachelor's degree. The community college baccalaureate is a much more affordable option and is one strategy that can help alleviate the fear of high tuition costs and student debt. Typically, community college baccalaureates are 30-50% less than tuition at traditional colleges. Community colleges in states such as Texas, California, and Florida, among others, offer $10,000 degrees. Read more here. Gallup-Lumina State of Higher Education
