Higher Education inColorado: Our challengeUniversity of Colorado Excellence inLeadership Program – September 12, 2014
Framework for our discussion Agendao Leadership Concepts Context and Curiosity The Choice to Exercise Leadershipo Colorado’s Higher Ed Challengeo Discussion
Colorado’s higher ed challenge Experts project that by 2020, 74 percent of jobs in Colorado will requirepostsecondary education or training. Yet out of 100 ninth-graders in Colorado today, only 50 go to college andonly 22 earn a degree. The gap for minorities is far worse. By 2015, Hispanic students areexpected to make up more than a quarter of our public high schoolgraduates. Yet, among all ethnic groups, Hispanics are least likely to havea college credential (18 percent of Hispanic adults vs. 53 percent of whiteadults). Colorado Paradox – how do we solve it?
