Grant-Funded Work

In November 2021, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded AGB a grant to develop resources to guide governing board oversight of equitable student success.

The project’s initial phase focused on developing resources on equity and student success for governing boards, with an emphasis on institution-wide solutions to impact measurable outcomes. Using these resources, boards can develop the capacity to oversee student success through an equity lens to sharpen their governance policies and elevate the impact of campus-wide programs. The curriculum will highlight data on student success trends and gaps based on demographic characteristics; prioritize this work for institutional transformation, sustainability, and fiduciary duty; and identify strategies and practical resources for boards and chief executives to lead their institutions toward improved outcomes for all students.

The second phase will focus on helping boards assess the impact of AGB’s project and refining it via additional tools, methods, and leading practices for boards to oversee institutional transformation for equitable student success.
