Goal 2 Encourage partnerships that build the educational pipeline by reaching children and their parents at an earlier age.
Goal 3 Close the gap in educational achievement, by bringing retention and graduation rates for students of color in line with those of the student body as a whole.
Goal 4 Increase the amount of financial aid available to needy students and reduce their reliance on loans.
Goal 5 Increase the number of faculty, academic staff, classified staff and administrators of color, so that they are represented in the UW System workforce in proportion to their current availability in relevant job pools.
