Our incremental budget is a little bit more than inflation. New funds are brought in for other issues. Funding for diversity will be coming from endowments, financial aid, and programmatic support. The campus is interested in a pipeline which involves junior high schools and high schools. Our goals will be between where they were historically and what they are in the student plan.
Parity is our long term goal.
As far as retention, both plans are on the same page. Students need to be able to succeed academically and socially. Retention rates are not as good as they should be. MEP and MASP are very strong programs. But they are not meeting a large enough proportion of students on campus.
