Perspectives: Challenges in Higher Education for the Next President

by Dwayne Ashley , September 15, 2008

Categories:

Whether the next president proposes specific solutions may be less important than providing the resources and leadership that will empower our college communities to set their own agendas for making higher education more accessible, closing the achievement gap for student minorities, and embracing our nation's growing diversity.

Advances on these three educational fronts will help ensure the continued dynamism and innovation not just of our colleges and universities, but of the nation as a whole.

In the end, it's their education, our future.

Dwayne Ashley is president and CEO of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, which provides leadership development, scholarships and programmatic and institutional support to the nation's 47 public Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
