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.
Students are the most effective spokesmen for recruiting and retaining students.
The students' support is vital. Faculty, staff, and students should be involved in this vision. I see vision as a metaphor for climate, feelings, and the whole experience for underrepresented groups. Classrooms are particular experiences. With this plan we need to actively and proactively think about issues.
