King, Ed.D.  \nApril 2025  \nPreface  \nOver 50% of American students in our public schools are Latinx, Black, Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI), or American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN). Tapping into their talent and ensuring their access to a college education is essential to our future economic power and the success of our multiracial democracy. Yet, despite the historical exclusion and current underrepresentation of many Americans in our colleges and universities—including those who are first-generation, undocumented, or low-income—anti-equity forces continually threaten to regress the nation back into a pre-civil rights era of darkness and exclusion.  \nThese pressures are not new. Setbacks to our progress, such as the current national attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion and the 2023 Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decision curtailing raceconscious college admissions, follow a lineage of discrimination. That is why the Campaign for College Opportunity launched the Equity, Inclusion, Action (EIA) initiative, which ensures historically underserved students are supported to reclaim their right to a college education free of barriers and empower them to thrive in our nation’s economy and democracy. The EIA initiative accomplishes this by equipping higher education stakeholders with a blueprint for resistance, combatting discriminatory attacks with solutions in college preparation, admission, affordability, and completion that protect every student’s right to a transformative college degree. True leadership is demonstrated on the frontlines of resistance in activating this blueprint. By standing with students in equity, inclusion, and action, higher education and policy leaders advance the core value that all people in America—regardless of race, ethnicity, zip code, income level, or documentation status—should be afforded a college degree and the opportunity to succeed. Our country’s future counts on our fight to make good on the progress our ancestors dreamed of.  \n2 Ensuring College Access and Success for Black Students in Higher Education • The Campaign for College Opportunity • April 2025  \nForeword  \nMay 25, 2020 marked an inflection point in the long-standing strained and toxic relationship between the U.S. and the Black people who reside within it. That was the day when George Floyd was tragically murdered by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who kneeled on his neck and restricted his breathing for approximately 9 minutes. Although it was not the first time a Black person was killed by a law enforcement officer in the U.S. , this grotesque act of violence was broadcast on social media for the entire world to see. Shortly after Floyd was killed, we learned of the deaths of Breonna Taylor and Ahmad Aubrey, which had occurred a few months earlier in February 2020. Taylor was a Black woman who was tragically killed when Louisville police officers broke into her apartment and recklessly discharged their firearms, presumably to apprehend her boyfriend. Aubrey, a Black man, was murdered while jogging through a neighborhood in Glynn County, Georgia by 3 white, racist men, one of them a retired  \npolice officer.  \nFloyd, Taylor, and Aubrey’s murders sparked protests around the world. Millions marched and organized demands for justice and accountability, and collective voices were raised in affirmation of Black livesmattering. The calls for justice and affirmations were quickly followed by statements of solidarity that were developed by organizations across the U.S. , including colleges and universities, that promised to take proactive approaches to stand in solidarity and strengthen their efforts to serve Black communities, students, and educators. Some institutions infused more resources into their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts.
