Options for Innovation and Reform in Higher Education
Isabel Soto, Tom Lee

* Higher education is facing a confluence of challenges: tuition inflation, mounting student debt, and decreasing value in a changing economy.
* National-level reforms – specifically accreditation reform and greater transparency – would pave the way for greater innovation at the local level and generate more competition with traditional 4-year degree programs.
* Several innovative programs have integrated the private sector into job training with largely successful results, demonstrating a potential pathway for boosting innovation and competition.

Policies to Ensure Equitable Access to Well-Resourced Colleges and Universities
Cindy Le, Elizabeth Davidson Pisacreta, James Dean Ward, Jesse Margolis, Heidi Booth

In this policy brief, we discuss a range of ways to improve access to well-resourced institutions. We suggest states take a multi-pronged approach to addressing this issue. Increasing and equalizing funding across campuses, providing more direct routes to college through affirmative action policies and a streamlined admissions process, lowering financial burdens to high-tuition/high-resource institutions, and maintaining educational quality through strong oversight are all important ways states can reduce inequities in access to high-quality postsecondary opportunities. Through this broad set of levers, state leaders can simultaneously increase the supply of well-resourced institutions and decrease barriers to these institutions for historically underserved students. Both strategies will serve to reduce inequities and have positive social and economic impacts on states.
