S. Supreme Court decisions—to assist colleges and universities in developing and implementing their access-and diversity-related policies in light of core institutional goals and federal nondiscrimination law. More than 30 institutions of higher education and four national organizations are sponsors of the Collaborative; six other organizations also support the work of the Collaborative.  \nThe Collaborative has provided extensive training to higher education institutions nationwide. More than 30 national seminars (with more than 1,000 representatives from over 300 institutions and organizations in attendance) have been conducted; and numerous guides and policy briefs that address key strategic planning and policy development issues have been published and widely distributed.  \nThese publications, which serve as important background reading relevant to the topics of this manual, may be downloaded from the Collaborative website [at www.collegeboard.com/accessanddiversity](at www.collegeboard.com/accessanddiversity).  \nAbout the Authors  \nArthur L. Coleman, Scott R. Palmer and Kate Lipper are members of EducationCounsel LLC, an affiliate of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, LLP, which provides legal, policy, strategic planning and advocacy services to education leaders throughout the country. With a focus on policy development and preventive law, they help colleges and universities, states, school districts, and other education providers and associations understand how to structure programs in ways that best serve their educational goals and meet federal and state legal requirements. Their diversity-related services include strategic planning, policy counseling, program reviews/audits, litigation support (including with respect to OCR investigations) and staff training. Arthur Coleman and Scott Palmer served as back-to-back deputy assistant secretaries for civil rights in the U. S. Department of Education under Secretary Richard Riley, who is a senior partner at EducationCounsel.

We want to thank Gretchen Rigol for her vision, depth of knowledge and tireless commitment to making higher education enrollment decisions the best that they can be.
