Why? Minnesota has some of the largest disparities in the nation. High school graduation rates, academic preparedness, post-secondary degree attainment, home ownership, health, income, etc. With three-quarters of the jobs in Minnesota requiring some post-secondary education and with 70% of the state’s population growth over the years ahead coming from communities of color, we cannot afford to leave anyone behind. Minnesota State is educating the communities of the future. 62,800 students of color and American Indian students 50,000 first‐generation college students 92,000 low‐income students Developmental education reduces disparities and provides access to higher education. Underrepresented students are less prepared for college-level courses and are disproportionately enrolled in developmental education; Ensuring their success is critical.
