Access, achievement equity shape new initiative with UW-Madison
By Robyn Cawley | Dec. 3, 2018UW-Madison will work to boost accessibility and eliminate the achievement gap — which are often attributed to race and socioeconomic status — in a new initiative led by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. The effort, which is known as Powered by Publics: Scaling Student Success is the largest collaborative effort in the country garnered toward improving college access and equity, as well as the number of degrees awarded each year. The participating institutions will break down into “clusters” ranging from four to 12 universities to discuss and implement practices that will encourage success for students pursuing a degree.
