The Center for Urban Education at University of Southern California and the Lumina Foundation have released a series of resources to inform state leaders and policymakers of practices and strategies to increase equity in higher education policy and to guide them through the process.

The three-part series includes resources to guide state policy and higher education officials through conversations about equity and race; strategies for achieving buy-in for incorporating race into postsecondary planning; and a protocol to review existing policies and the development of new policies that prioritize equity.
