This presentation will outline the Equity 2030 Framework for Minnesota State and explain how it guides our work as a system. The presentation will include the key metrics to assess the system’s progress towards Equity 2030 goals, tools and resources that are available systemwide to support this work, and highlight promising practices that help to reduce equity gaps.
This presentation will outline the Equity 2030 Framework for Minnesota State – this was presented to the Board of Trustees in June, and is being rolled out this fall. This will include an overview of the primary goal of Equity 2030, the 6 dimensions that constitute the initiative, and how this work is relevant to everyone, in all roles and functional areas.
The four key metrics will be outlined (student success outcomes including: completion, persistence, course success and co-curricular/campus climate), as well as how this data is disaggregated to examine the equity gaps of key demographics (race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, first-generation status). Insights will also be shared about the progress our system has made in the first five years of Equity 2030, and reflections on next steps for the remaining five years.
This will be followed by an overview of select systemwide tools, resources and datasets that are available to our system community to leverage in their Equity 2030 work. This will include the Equity Scorecard, Equity by Design, Terms of Equity and Inclusion, Campus Climate assessments, and integrating equity considerations into campus-level evaluation.
The final portion of the presentation will highlight examples of Equity 2030 Promising Practices that have been identified by Minnesota State institutions and leveraged across each of the 6 dimensions of Equity 2030: Enhanced Access, Academic Success, Student Engagement, Evidence-based, Financial Resources, as well as Workforce and Talent Diversity.
By the end of this presentation, audience members will be able to:- Understand the objective of Equity 2030, how progress towards the goals of the strategic initiative is being measured, and how this is relevant to their work.
- Be able to locate and access Equity 2030 tools, resources and data sources that can inform their work.
- Identify an Equity 2030 promising practice that can be integrated into their own work/role.
