What I find striking about this list of recommendations (lead and inspire, lobby, form partnerships, monitor students, and innovate) is that none of them address fairness in recruitment and selection process, access and accessibility of learning resources, diversity in content selection and representation to reflect diversity in the population as a whole, or economic and social supports for historically marginalized populations. Maybe I'm just missing the mark and don't understand what students really need. Or maybe the article misrepresents what the study (41 page PDF) actually says and inserts some other agenda in its place. My reading of the study reveals "three primary themes... student support, funding, and operations." The first of these themes covers things like ability to attend, access to technology, funding, and more. But hey, don't trust me, read it yourself.
