Supporting students is key to an equitable economic future

The pandemic is exacerbating educational inequities as the impacts of learning loss grow among the population, hitting students of color and students from low-income backgrounds particularly hard.  

Postsecondary institutions are also finding themselves under intense pressure from pandemic-related enrollment declines, loss of on-campus revenue, and the threat of state funding cuts even while they reinforce their commitments to providing equitable outcomes for all students.
