Ensuring Access: AASCU Institutions' Practices & Policies
American Association of State Colleges and Universities
A college degree enables upward financial mobility--a college graduate's lifetime earnings are over 80% greater than those without a degree. Yet, systemic societal and educational constructs can create hurdles for students--particularly those who are historically underserved (e.g., Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and low-income students)--to gain access to education. The aim of this brief is to describe practices and policies that AASCU member institutions use to foster accessibility for historically underserved students.
