"A college degree can be a ticket out of poverty." Yet, only 22% of the country's Black population and 15% of the Hispanic population have a minimum of a bachelor's degree, compared with over one-half of Asians and about one-third of whites. Strong academic success in foundation courses and courses that fulfill general education requirements has been demonstrated to be related to success throughout a student's academic career, including credential completion and into the labor force. Historically underserved students--Hispanic, Black, Native American, first-generation, and Pell Grant recipients--often attain lower grades in these introductory and foundation courses than their peers. This analysis includes data from five higher education institutions to examine if these gaps are realized and, if so, to what extent. This brief describes a sample data inquiry that can help institutions identify inequities and provides guiding questions to assist campuses in facilitating discussions about equity as related to their own policies and programs.
