Gates Foundation Refocuses Higher-Ed Priorities - EdSurge HigherEd

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation today released an updated list of priorities that it will double down on in higher education. Improving data infrastructure, simplifying federal financial aid and supporting student-centered pathways are among the foundation’s areas of focus for the upcoming year. Throughout September the foundation is running a campaign called “Today’s College Students” to highlight colleges and universities serving the “new majority” of students, including those who work full-time, are older than 25 years old and receive some kind of financial aid. https://www.edsurge.com/news/2016-09-22-gates-foundation-refocuses-higher-ed-priorities
