Bill Summary

Relative to reporting equity in higher education. Higher Education.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education to annually collect and publicly report data on key equity measures in higher education, including college-level math and English completion, credit accumulation, retention, and graduation rates. The data must be disaggregated and compared by race (white, Black, and Hispanic), gender (male and female), and Pell grant eligibility status, for both four-year institutions and community colleges. This aims to promote transparency and accountability in addressing inequities in student outcomes across different demographic groups in the state's higher education system.
