The Council on Postsecondary Education has completed its first comprehensive review of campus progress tied to Kentucky’s Policy for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Kentucky is the only state in the nation to tie new academic program approval to outcomes of campus progress toward equal educational opportunity goals.
Kentucky’s work has caught the attention of Complete College America, a non-profit organization focused on highly effective structural reforms of higher education that improve student success. A blog article by CPE’s General Counsel and Vice President Travis Powell is featured on the organization’s website: New Policy to Improve Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Yields Progress.

The Council on Postsecondary Education is leading efforts to get more Kentuckians more highly educated. By 2030, at least 60 percent of working-age adults in Kentucky will need to have earned a postsecondary education degree or credential to meet expected workforce demands.
