An intensive, intentional process

A roadmap for decision-makers
The Recovery with Equity Taskforce report features actions that state leaders can pursue to ensure California’s public post-secondary institutions stride toward this vision for a better future. Recommendations are grounded in best practices and regional nuances and guided by a modern vision for equity and service to students.
“These are pivotal times for California’s students and institutions of higher education. By recasting todays’ challenges as opportunities, and acting with courage, our state can move toward our moonshot goal of eliminating equity gaps and charting a new trajectory toward a California for ALL.”
