Equitable Value: Promoting Economic Mobility and Social Justice through Postsecondary Education. Executive Summary
Postsecondary Value Commission
This is the executive summary for the report, "Equitable Value: Promoting Economic Mobility and Social Justice through Postsecondary Education." The Postsecondary Value Commission's work offers three equity-centered tools to identify, measure, and address inequities in access, completion, and post-college outcomes: (1) a definition of postsecondary value; (2) the Postsecondary Value Framework which outlines the clear value-add that postsecondary education can provide to students and society, in both economic and noneconomic terms; and (3) the action agenda outlines policies and practices that institutional leaders and federal and state policymakers should implement to address systemic barriers that prevent Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and AAPI students, students from low-income backgrounds, and women from reaping equitable returns from postsecondary education and achieving economic and social mobility. Together, the value definition, framework, and action agenda are designed to catalyze an equitable value movement, which will help reshape the higher education system in the United States by combating access and completion barriers, sparking economic mobility, dismantling racist practices and structural inequalities, and building a more vibrant and just society.
