Slide 10
Critical Questions
How can policy be leveraged to promote increased postsecondary attainment, particularly for underrepresented groups?
How can we expand the affordability conversation to encompass the root cause of the problem (cost) as well as its symptom (price)?
What incentives can be provided for more strategic investment of institutional resources (including financial aid)?
How do we start--and sustain--a conversation about resources in relation to results for students?
How do we build capacity to serve a growing, aging, and more diverse student population in an environment of limited resources?
