Access, Equity, and Integrity: Reaching Students Who Are Still Underserved
This document discusses challenges in reaching underserved students in higher education. It notes that low-income and racial minority students are less likely to enroll and graduate from college. Reasons include a shortage of high school counselors, unequal access to college preparatory courses, and limited financial resources. Data shows only around half of low-income high school graduates enroll in college compared to four-fifths of high-income students. Several organizations aim to improve access and support first-generation and underrepresented students. The presentation covers current best practices, innovative strategies, and generating discussion on improving educational equity.

- #10 Access for underrepresented populations has been a focus since the 90’s, and as Bowen and Bok investigated, specifically exploring race-based admissions, in The Shape of the River, it is not only getting students “in”, but how they fare, what they learn, how they gain their social capitol and what they do to persist and graduate as fully prepared and contributing member of society. For an applicant who is the first in his or her family to attend a four-year college or university, the application process can be especially daunting. Decisions about where to attend college, how to apply to different schools, whether to leave family, and how to afford the cost of a college education are issues that can pose hurdles for first-generation college students. Ask participants to share why this is an issue…..
- #17 full range of math and science courses = (Algebra I, geometry, Algebra II, calculus, biology, chemistry, physics)
- #18 Abundant low-income talent exists. Annually, approximately 30,000 low-income students score over 1300 on the combined math and verbal SAT scores, and another 42,000 score over 1220. Moreover, over a third of top low-income performers don't take the SAT. Already in the system, there is abundant raw talent and tens of thousands of academically prepared talented low-income students in America to match top low-income students with every full-need scholarship that top American colleges provide. There need be no academic gap if we can bring our best low-income students into the system. Most top low-income students in America don't apply to top colleges who want them. In one study, only 3% of the students attending the nation's top 146 colleges and universities were drawn from families in the lowest economic quartile.
